Valentines ‘James Bond’ Casino Night

Thursday, 17 February 2011 10:36

On an extremely windy Saturday evening in February the Alexander Hosea PTA held their first ever PTA Casino Night.

With a ‘James Bond’ theme flowing, the school hall was successfully transformed into our casino hall and with a hint of Valentines it was beautifully decorated with handmade floral bouquets and helium balloons. Not to mention the cardboard cut outs of James Bond and his bond girls which started popping up after a very kind donation from the ‘Tortworth Court Hotel’.

Sixteen enthusiastic teams battled against one another to win the coveted prize of the Alexander Hosea School PTA Quiz Night Trophy and a bottle of bubbly.

With a heavily discounted bar, beer on tap, wine by the bottle and a superb raffle the evening flew by. Rounds seem to get quicker and spookily the questions seemed to get easier too!
