Success for The Invincibles at the Village Quiz
Eleven teams vied for the Village Quiz Challenge Cup last week and raised £310 towards the cost of a new Friendly Bench from Plastecowood – that’s well over half way!
Quizmaster Mike Morrisey, with support from Anita & Pauline, delivered a quiz with 10 rounds of 10 questions and a bonus picture round of 45 famous places (like Angel Falls). The halfway point was time for the Raffle which contributed £90 to the overall sum raised. The rounds were:
- Geography,
- People,
- Art & Literature,
- Sport & Games,
- General Knowledge 1,
- History,
- Capital Cities,
- Film & TV,
- General Knowledge 2
- Natural History.
In the end defending champions ‘The Invincibles’ scored 170 out of a possible 222 to win the cup. They were closely followed by ‘The Jerry Hat Tricks’ and ‘The G&Ts’. All who attended agreed that it was a great quiz and offered their thanks to Mike & his crew!
