Columbo, Vera, Taggart and Sister Boniface took turn to \u2018interview\u2019 the ringleaders, scrutinise their methods and decide how foolproof were their dastardly plans.<\/p>\n<p>Many and varied were the schemes. Some famous personalities might come to sticky ends \u2013 whether through an exploding shotgun on a grouse moor or a fishing trip \u2018accident\u2019. One philandering victim would \u2018trip\u2019 down cellar stairs \u2013 but might the murderer get caught on CCTV? Another\u2019s drunken stupor would, the team claimed, be a cover for a deadly dose of helium. Or how about the plot to do away with the person who habitually ignored the piles of dog-poo left by his precious pooch? Would Hightown\u2019s receding tide ultimately remove the evidence?[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;3&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1739206729491-2708761a-79ba-1&#8243; include=&#8221;7345,7348,7347,7346&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The detectives\u2019 scoring showed a three-way tie. By popular vote of all present the winning team was \u2018Table Quatre\u2019. Their complex idea of murdering Dracula \u2013 doing away with the Undead with the help of a vacuum cleaner \u2013 won the day. The team wore their \u2018blood\u2019-spattered medals with pride.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Boniface (aka Soroptimist Sandy Taylor) thanked everyone for their active and imaginative participation. \u201cWe were particularly delighted to welcome Soroptimists from Liverpool, Bootle and Widnes. I\u2019m sure they had a \u2018dead good\u2019 night\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The evening raised \u00a3847.00 and will go into SI Crosby\u2019s fund for charitable donations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1739206729500-fd4865cd-f6e5-8&#8243; include=&#8221;7350,7357,7351,7354,7353,7355&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Crosby Soroptimists\u2019 latest fundraiser challenged teams to devise the perfect murder.
