Game, Set and Murder at Government House

by isleofman.com 28th August 2013

Who killed Roger Fairlawn the respected President of Fairlawn Tennis Club? And what was he doing at Government House? These and other questions will have to be answered by guests taking part in a fundraising evening for The Children’s Centre. The Island’s leading charity for families and children is organising a murder mystery event at Government House thanks to kind permission of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor Mr Adam Wood and his family. The drama is being staged by WASP Productions who have run a string of successful murder mystery events and always promise stories which have a sting in the tail! After being served with Champagne and canapes, guests will love being able to put their detective skills to the test as they set about trying to uncover ‘whodunnit’. The fun and games takes place on Thursday September 26 starting at 6pm. The Children’s Centre’s fundraising coordinator, Susie Cox, commented:

“Government House is such a fantastic location to host this event and we would like to thank His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor Mr Adam Wood and his family for their generous hospitality. We’re thrilled to have been able to host this fantastic evening in such an iconic Manx building and very much look forward to seeing the WASP Productions performance. Get your tickets ASAP because this event is sure to sell-out!”

His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor said:
 
“I am delighted to provide the venue for this inventive fundraising venture which will help The Children’s Centre’s many projects and services for families and children across the Island. I’m sure the participants in the murder mystery event will have a lot of fun while also raising funds for a very worthy cause.”

The plot of Game, Set and Murder centres on Roger Fairlawn, the President of Fairlawn Tennis Club, who invites guests to the Annual Tennis Club Dinner and Prize Presentation. However, upon arrival guests are greeted by Mr Fairlawn’s body lying in a pool of blood. Who is the murderer? Was it Delroy Beach the American tennis coach; fashion designer Gerry Webber; advocate Don Wimble; prize presentation organiser India Wells; sports photographer Roland Garros; or tennis club secretary Serena Love? You’ll have to be there on the evening to find out! Tickets are ?25 and can be purchased by calling Susie Cox on 676076 or by emailing fundraising@thechildrenscentre.org.im.
