It was Sunday, April 23, and another glorious day in SaddleBrooke, when 22 members and three guests of the British Club gathered at the Bocce Ball Courts in HOA-1 for the fun of playing Bocce Ball. Following the games, everyone headed to the home of Bob Zimdar and Twink Gates who were hosting a pot-luck picnic where they feasted on a delicious selection of salads: chopped salad, Coleslaw, and potato salad. Shrimp with cocktail sauce, Charcuturie Board, devilled eggs, quiche, scalloped potatoes, and Swedish meatballs. Accompanying the BYOB, a refreshing fruit punch was served with Malibu Coconut rum if desired. With coffee, the players enjoyed a delicious array of desserts—New York Cheese Cake with raspberries, brownies, and fresh strawberries. At the end of the evening, the Bocce Ball winners, losers, and all in attendance, were awarded fun prizes of Hershey’s chocolate, and snickers bars for their endeavors to make this event so successful!
Everyone agreed it was a fun way to spend an afternoon and evening, and thanked Twink and Bob for organizing this fun event for the British Club.
