EAMG QUIZ Nov 2nd 2021
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2021 1:38 pm
Since no venue was available the 'Xmas' Quiz took place at the November Group Night, with the added incentive of a subsidised buffet! It was well attended. It was also plagued by technical difficulties, with the new PA failing for the first two rounds, and the sounds round suffering from the unfamiliarity of the staff with the new CD player. This meant that the relaxed showmanship for which the quiz is famous suffered (believe that if you will)!
The rounds seemed to be within acceptable limits for difficulty. The Sports and Sounds rounds seemed the easiest for most, with Science predictably being the hardest. The best Joker play was by Table 5, and the worst by Table 9. Table 3 was best for the picture quiz, which seems to have been a bit harder than usual. The results were, out of a possible 110:
1) Table 6 with 73 points
2) Table 3 with 70 points
3) Table 5 with 68 points
The coveted wooden spoon was awarded to Table 9 with 51 points
I would like to thank all who attended for putting up with the difficulties with, for the most part, good humour. Special thanks to Colin Digby for getting the PA sorted, and to Mick Hewitt for bringing the projector, helping with setting up, and generally being a Good Guy. Jill also was assiduous in making sure the markers were fed and watered. Thanks are also due to those unsung heroes, the markers. Pictures have been posted.
