Many members could not make it last year to say goodbye to our old mate Lex.
At Lex's wake more than a few old members said we should have an annual Old Boys reunion as none of us are getting any younger. That is true.
As Engadine Tavern is our major Sponsor again and for the 27th year and Garie Boardriders will also be hosting Two-Up at Engadine Tavern again this Anzac Day, we are rolling it all together in what we hope will be a yearly Old Boys Reunion and we intend to do it every year.
Starting at Noon on Anzac Day at Engadine Tavern
Garie Boardriders Old Boys Reunion and Two-Up is on.
Nothing too fancy, a few beers, some good food with a new Chef at the pub cooking up a storm, and Two-Up.
THREE (3) PENNY - TWO-UP - ANY TWO-UP WINS
The SPIINER must place a cash bet on HEADS.
Another person must cover the cash bet on TAILS.
When the centre bet is set side bets can occur. TAILS holds each side bet.
Three (3) pennies are placed TAILS facing up on the KIP by the RINGKEEPER.
The SPINNER flips the KIP above their head and the Penies must spin above the spinner. All three pennies must land within the ring.
RINGKEEPER'S DECISION IS FINAL
The RINGKEEPER will make the final decsion by:
1. Calling NO SPIN and gesturing crossed arms, OR
2. Calling HEADS and gesturing to his head, OR
3. Calling TAILS and gesturing to his tail.
The following reasons will constitute a ‘NO SPIN’:
1. The pennies land outside of the ring,
2. The pennies hit a person or object, or
3. The pennies don’t spin above the Spinner’s head.
If the SPINNER (HEAD BET) wins then they keep their original bet as well as the money from the person who betted on tails. If the other player (TAIL BET) wins then they take back their money and the spinner’s bet.
Side bets apply the same rule. The RING KEEPER hold the centre bet cash. Head bets hold the cash.
What each landing combination means:
- NO SPIN - No winner - Spinner Spins again
- Two or Three HEADS UP mean the spinner (and head betters) wins that particular round
- Two or Three TALES UP mean the spinner (and head betters) loses their bet and must give up the right to spin
Two-Up Rules
- The RINGKEEPER will make the final decision on the outcome of each spin.
- The RINGKEEPER will select a spinner by offering the kip to every person in a clockwise direction.
- There is a set of 6 pennies held by the RINGKEEPER.
- The SPINNER will choose three pennies.
- Only three (3) pennies can be used and changing pennies is at the discretion of the RINGKEEPER.
- The HEAD side of each peny is polished (for easy visibility).
- The TAIL side of each peny is tarnished (for easy visibility).
- The RINGKEEPER places the pennies tails up on the kip.
- If the SPINNER throws two tails then the spinner will lose the money in the ring and must forfeit the right to spin.
- To count as an invalid spin, the ringkeeper must call “no spin” before the pennies touch the ground.
- Only over 18s can play Two-Up.
- The SPINNER needs to hand the money to the ringkeeper.
- The RINGKEEPER must hold the money and the equivalent from another better to cover the bet.
- Side bets are held by the Heads better
