Bedhampton Quiz Night
Saturday 6th May 2006
A question for you...
Q. What do you get if you lock 76 people in a room and fire questions
at them all evening?
A. You get one of the best fund-raising social events
we've held for a long time!
Come on in, find a table, sit down and join us as we tell you about this mind-expanding evening...
Q. What's "Anguis Fragilis"? Would you like some with your
Ploughman's Supper?
A. We hope not - it's a slow worm!
Q. What's "Prunus Armeniaca"? Would you like some with your Ploughman's
Supper?
A. Unusual, but a nice choice - it's apricot!
76 plucky volunteers from our local pubs and clubs and "rival" Churches endured 8 rounds with Joe Stevens (that sounds a bit like a boxing match, but it was altogether more pleasant). Joe had a range of tricky questions up his sleeve and as he peppered the throng with yet more tricky brain-teasers, Jill, Sally and Hannah busied themselves with the suppers.
There can only be one winner, and Wayne's World, (naming themselves, curiously, after that intellectually barren TV "entertainment") scooped it, helping to raise over £600 for our appeal for a digital projector, just like the one that was so vital at the quiz night and we had to give back soon after!
No prizes for the most bizarre team name, but a mention in despatches nonetheless goes to...
The "Havant A Clue" team.
Our verger's "Vergin on the Ridiculous" team.
Sue and the Alljays (John, John,
Jenny, Jean & Joan)
And Thank You to our new friends from Westbrook Church Cowplain, St Clare's and St Faith's Havant. Many of our Church teams look forward to coming to a similar evening at your Church, and again finishing embarrassingly near bottom...
Question 6 : Which is the nicer wine on the table in front of you? The red or the white?
