The first day of competition closed with a "raid" by members of Portsmouth’s historical (and hysterical) past. Local folks in authentic costume provided comedy, singing and a skit.

The skit involved the laying of a keel and the building of a "ship" with Auxiliarists making up the ribs and sides.

The players toured the room during the buffet dinner providing a lot of laughter and jovial fun. "Grog" was the libation of the evening.
