Whist Drive
The Parish Hall records show that between 1922 and the early 1990s (maybe after this date but no
records support that assumption) a regular use of
the Hall was for a Whist Drive.
Prior to WW2 the Whist Drive was
often also associated with a dance.
This suggests that whist was a popular pastime within the community.
Whist Drive definition: Whist
Drive is a social gathering where whist is played. Whist is played by
four players at each table. Players seated opposite one another
(partners) compete against the other two players at the table for that
particular game. The winners of each hand move to different tables to
play the losers of the previous hand.
