Beetle is a British party game in which one draws a beetle in parts. The game may be played solely with pen, paper and a dice or using a commercial game set. It is also sometimes called Cooties or Bugs. The game is entirely based on random roll of the dice, with no skill required. Members thoroughly enjoyed a fun filled day at the club.

The monthly braai will be held at the Uvongo Tennis Club on Sunday, March 31. Braai fires will be lit from 11.30am.
