QUIZ NIGHT REPORT 2024

The Club would like to thank all who attended and supported our traditional February Quiz Night. A total of 26 pizzas were ordered and there were another 12 quiz only attendees. So, a fairly good total of Club members, their friends and families, making up 6 teams. Not as many as last year, but a quality attendance nevertheless.

This year it was decided to continue with our pizza and fries deal. As with everything else the cost had gone up a little. So with all those who were eating paying the cost price for the pizzas and a payment for the quiz aspect we managed to keep the total cost down as much as we could. We would like to thank Jeevan and Paul for sorting out the order and Jeevan for collecting the food. We thank ‘Dixy Chicken’ at the Yew Tree for doing a good deal for us once again.

The Club would like to thank Neil and Keith for agreeing to help with the marking. This was a great help to the smooth running of the event.

The now traditional raffle attracted excellent support and a record amount of £125 was raised to help swell the funds. Thanks to Kyle and Jeevan for selling so many tickets and indeed to all who donated a large number of prizes.

Your cunning quiz-master decided upon the theme of ‘People and Places’ for this year’s quiz. A mixed assortment of some easier, some more difficult, questions followed together with a usual mix of Blockbuster questions and a couple of Spot Prizes to keep everyone entertained.  It’s hard to please everyone all the time but comments at the end of the evening seemed to show that everyone enjoyed this year’s event

At the end of it all, Neal’s merry men and lady, ran away with three of the main prizes. Congratulations to them. Edan’s team members will console themselves with the traditional prizes for those who were less successful!!

At the end of the proceedings, when all accounts had been settled, a very modest profit for the Club of almost £200 was raised.

Many thanks to all who supported the event. We hope to be able to convince a few more to attend next year. The quiz-master is already hard at work dreaming up next year’s theme.

The Club would like to thank Pete for his questions and all who helped with the organisation of the enjoyable evening.

Any positive feedback would be appreciated and would help guiding our thoughts in preparation for the next quiz.
