Rob's quiz at Cotgrave Miners Welfare

5th August 2021 Rob Quiz at Cotgrave Miners Welfare

It was decided that we would give Cotgrave Miners Welfare a trial as a possible future venue, as Ashmores would now be limited to twice per month, so David E. made the necessary arrangements. A reasonable turnout of 20 attended including Mary’s guest Gail, a possible new member.

Allen reported the fact that a team of 4, with David V., Stan & Rob had again entered into the Grantham Kesteven Charity Golf event at Belton Park this very morning, performing reasonably average, with the possibility that David had secured the nearest the pin on the 14^thhole, the highlight of his round!

President Gordon then handed over to Quiz Master Rob for his interesting Quiz, covering sport, literature geography, history & films, which the team of Denis, Barry, Clive & Alan W. claimed victory with 32.5 points, but they were the largest team with 4, as most of the members were in 2’s.

Having enjoyed this first quiz, Rob had also prepared one of his special ‘Music‘ quizzes, covering classical, short introductions, TV themes and Films.  I don’t think team scoring was a serious matter, as there was considerable shouting out of answers and popular music specialist Jane was spotlighted for her expertise.

David E. asked for instant feedback reaction on the venue, which was generally considered OK for the warm summer months, but there were doubts about the suitability in cold weather.  No food was available, but the beer was good and the room free, with alternative rooms possible, it is quite a ‘rabbit warren’, but we would try it again.                                                                AR
