The first Quiz Night at St Andrew’s took place on 29 November, and great fun it was too. Four teams of three were locked in (almost) intellectual combat for the St Andrew’s Quiz Shield. Anne Jarvis compiled the questions, acted as quiz master and prepared snacks and drinks.
Questions included geography, sport, current affairs, absolute trivia and some rather clever cryptic questions, where the question contained the answer. The tasteful St Andrew’s shield will, until the next Quiz Night, grace the sideboards of Alyson Jarjour’s team, which was made up of Alyson’s mum and Kimberly Butcher.
To give you an idea of what the questions are like, here’s a sample:
- What were 30 tons of Lithuania’s currency recycled into?
- Which world leader’s portrait is tattooed on Diego Maradona’s shin?
- Which Teletubby speaks Mandarin?
Congratulations to Anne and her team for organising the evening. There will be another Quiz Night in the first half of 2009 (date to be announced). Well worth attending!
