Doug's Quiz

July 28^th 2022 Doug’s Quiz – Doug Downing

President Rob opened the meeting introducing two guests: Alan Haydock and Councillor Gareth Williams, Bingham’s Town Mayor, who was taking our Club as his Annual Charity this year. Then let David Eldridge present Gerry Short with his Gong of office as President Nominee.

Doug circulated two quiz sheets to be completed during the meal: 22 Coastal countries of the Mediterranean and the 10 longest coastal States of the USA

Then on to the 60 questions, the first 26 covering the letters of the alphabet as their first letter, followed by a wide ranging set of clues, from Television, film, history to the colours of the Bulls eye in archery. He was then assisted by Rob in a Musical quiz, which had a ‘common theme’ and an ‘odd one out’.

There was a lot of ground covered which took up quite a time giving the answers, with Gerry T’s Team acquiring 95; Denis’s team 97.5; Derek’s team 94, Steve C’s team 101, but the winners with 117 out of 118 questions was the Top table, with Chris Netherwood struggling to add up the scores, which put doubts in the minds of the rest of the members, as a former Banker his numerical skills have always been questionable!

A most enjoyable evening for which Doug was well prepared and President Rob gave a Vote of thanks to Doug and the members showed their appreciation in the normal manner      .           AR
