Some of the party games devised by Mark are not quite what you’d expect, however!

The adult version of ‘Musical Chairs’ involves the men getting women to sit on their knees when the music stops and vice versa for the women’s round! These photos show the mad scramble to find a suitable adult! Herlen won the ladies’ round and Tony the men’s.

All in all, a hugely entertaining (and exhausting!) party, with many thanks to Mark for his ingenuity and cunning!
