 |
| The games started with a show of strength. The winner... Ren! (pictured above with Dax) |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Next up was the stone throw which Dax "landed" with little effort. Pictured left is the monkey man himself landing the winning toss. |
 |
 |
 |
| Next up... the stone toss! |
| Then the ever popular caper toss! yes... I said CAPER! |
| Aesa explains. This is a caper... you toss it. |
| Above, Richard prepares to toss his caper while Ren waits at the other end of the course to judge the distance. NB (pictured left) looks very confused. "Okay, what do I do with this thing again?" |
| Of course a holiday favorite with the Grove nuts is POP-UP PIRATE! |
 |
 |
 |
| Show you swords, maties! Okay so you have to put your sword into the barrel, and it the pirate pops up... you lose! The first round was a tie because the pirate stayed down, then Triskele was eliminated... and it was down to Dax, Steve, and the lady in black. |

 |
| We welcomed new members... |
| Ren accepted Aesa's challenge of "What do you bring to the grove?" |
| Then James, Jayna and their son accepted Aesa's challenge and became members. |
| Next, Alfred (above) faced Aesa's sword and became a grove nut, then Spooky and Brenda (right) gained admittance to the Grove . |
| Lastly, the grove said goodbye to Dax as his ship was placed on the funeral pyre. He has set sail to another land. |
