Come along and join us in All Bar One for a good old fashioned Beetle Drive. To cover the cost of the group fee and **CASH PRIZES**, there will be a charge of £2. Please pay this into the group account at least 48 hours before the event. You can message me (Wendy) if you require the account details. For those who’ve never been to a Beetle Drive, Beetle is a game where you have to draw a beetle in parts. The part drawn is decided by the roll of a die. You need a 6 to start, which allows you to draw the body. No other parts can be drawn without a body. Once you have the body, you can add the head, legs and tail. However you must have the head before you can add the eyes and the antenna. A complete beetle will have a body (throw a 6), a head (throw a 5), a tail (throw a 4), 6 legs (throw 6 x 3), 2 antenna (throw 2 x 2) and 2 eyes (throw 2 x 1). In our Beetle Drive 6 rounds of the game will be played. The players are in groups of four with a communal die, and the first player to complete a drawing of a beetle shouts out "Beetle!" stopping the play of all the groups. Everyone then counts up their score for that round. You score 6 for the body, 5 for the head, 4 for the tail, 3 for each leg, 2 for each antenna and 1 for each eye. A complete beetle will have a score of 39. Then the winner of each particular group (the player with the most points in that group) and the loser of each group (the player with the least points) will both move to the next table moving clockwise. Each player keeps a note of their score for each round. The ultimate winner is the person with the highest overall score.
