Family Quiz 2011

Family Quiz Nov 2011

Hi All,

On Saturday 19th November the revamped Parents Group held our first family event – the Scout Family Quiz. There was an incredible turnout with nearly 90 adults and children comprising 17 teams. A sell out! They grappled with questions announced by our able Quiz Master Gwyn Lloyd on a wide range of topics such as Sports, Children’s hobbies, Local & General Knowledge, Music, TV and Scouts.
The little ones loved having a play mat in the corner as they were able to make block towers and let off some steam away from their tables if they needed a break.
The Supper duly arrived and I can say that mine was really good. Everyone actually got the meal they ordered thanks to Kelly Andrews who organised it brilliantly - an incredible 90 meals of 6 different types.
We had lots of laughs and some heckling where the questions were vague or contentious so as Quiz Setter I’m going to have brush up on getting the questions just perfect!
Whilst the final scores were totted up we played Irish Bingo which was good fun and resulted in a nail-biting finish with Pia Keeley-Johnson winning the first prize of Chocolate Truffles and Wine. Two Runners up prizes were awarded (including Lawrence Peters who won a 1.5 m box of Jaffa Cakes and looked very happy!).
There was a great atmosphere in the Hall with some good-natured banter between the teams and the final results are shown below with the winners taking away big boxes of Celebrations for the children and some wine for the adults.
1st Not Lashing 62
2nd Toxic Rubber Duckies 61
3rd Exploders. 60

We are planning a Summer Quiz in 2012 and we will need to keep the number of teams to 15 so look out for the flyer by paper and email when we announce the details. It will be first come first served so get in quickly and see if you can beat the champions, Not Lashing which was in fact the team with 4 of the Leaders in it!

See you at the next event.

Many thanks,

The Supporters Group
