Club meeting at Copper, Bingham

18th November 2021 The Trevor Quiz! – Trevor Richmond

Trevor started proceedings by introducing his assistant, Peter Jordan….not beautiful or young! We were then split into 4 tables as part of the quiz was a 90 second time slot for each individual table rather than the standard approach of Trevor reading a question and the first to shout the answer getting the point.

There were two teams in the rear stalls: Adrian’s team (AF, IT & GS) alongside Clive’s team (BN, MT & DB) & fairly soon in the process Clive’s ‘Deaf Team’ were complaining that by the time they heard Trevor’s question, Gordon’s Team (RG, DE & AR) had already answered…not sure whether it was the lack of brain speed of Clive’s team or simple deafness or the amazing speed of Gordon’s team?!

Moving swiftly on, Trevor explained the TV theme of part 1 of the quiz, mainly focused on ‘Line of Duty’ followed by Netflix Bridgerton, a Regency –Era Drama Romance, that put a number of our members at a disadvantage, as they didn’t have a Netflix account!  However, Gordon’s team were ‘on fire’ with David and Rob often answering the question before Trevor had finished!

Then followed the 90 second General Knowledge phase for each table, with Peter monitoring the 90 seconds on his phone, then ring the bell, but generous Trevor nearly always gave a further question, because of the slowness of his delivery (guilt complex!) The outcome of these two parts finished with Gordon’s team with 15 points, Adrian’s team with 10 points, Steve C’s team (DGa, Mike [guest]) with 8 points and Clive’s team with 3 points. So the chocolate prizes were distributed… and shared out. But it appeared from Trevor that the quiz was over, but any good performer has the “encore” already prepared, so we carried on with a Christmas quiz.

This was followed by a vote of thanks from President Gordon, thanking Trevor for his excellent quiz, delivered in his inimitable, and entertaining style and members joined with a show of their appreciation.                             AR
