Benitachell Bowls

AS the sun was setting on Friday June 23 the Benitachell bowlers, flat green not 10 Pin, gathered at their clubhouse on the edge of the village for a 60­kilo hog roast and an evening of entertainment.

The Entertainers started with a first set of ‘listening’ songs, whilst the food settled and everyone relaxed. In their effortless style they moved through a setlist of classics. Special mention to Linda for Human, Jerry for Africa and Marc for an orchestral version of I’m a Believer.

With the sun set and the stars twinkling with the new moon it was time to up the pace with some dance music, under the watchful eyes of Pete The Sound/Lighting Man. Never Gonna Give You Up, Stop and a selection of Abba songs got the ladies up and moving. It was interesting to note that it was only the Beatles medley that got many couples onto the floor, and as this was the last number of the second set, the men had certainly been saving themselves!

During a restful phase in the music Jo and Marc got a standing ovation for their version of The Prayer.

Denise Hart, the Social Director, thanked The Entertainers for a wonderful evening of songs and happiness. She thanked the members for attending and reported that €250 had been raised for Cancer Care Javea.

The Entertainers saw the dance floor full again when they started their encore with It’s Raining Men. Everyone present said it was a wonderful evening of good food, good entertainment and good friends which left many members asking when the next event was.
