17 December 2020 Christmas Zoom Meeting
President Derek welcomed us to what is our ‘normal’ Christmas Dinner celebration, but under present circumstances became a Christmas Quiz & Bingo Zoom! It is also the time when we normally present the Bernie Ashman Trophy for fellowship, but it was felt appropriate to postpone this award.
Stan had made a suggestion that he shared with the 27 + partners attending for us to create a Virtual New Year’s eve Zoom, probably starting about 8.45 pm and celebrating the New Year at about 10 pm, joining up with South Africa, where it would be Midnight.
It was then over to Master of Ceremonies Rob to present the Quiz and Bingo activities.
He had circulated a Christmas Anagram quiz and Dingbats quiz, for which he now gave the answers which I personally had struggled, but inevitably a couple of ‘Smart A…s’ had managed the maximum 28 points…both former teachers!(name names I hear you cry….(I believe it was GT and DV?)
Then, the Christmas quiz of Zoom, which again was quite challenging with 15 musical questions, identifying Christmas songs from very short introductions.
I believe Steve Carson, no doubt ably assisted by wife Jane managed 31.5 points out of 40, highly commendable.
Two games of Bingo followed with MC Rob showing off his Bingo number knowledge e.g. 2 fat ladies = 88, entertaining as Zoom Bingo does not have the fastest pace and all I could manage was 9 numbers on the first game, which Ian won and 11 numbers on the second game which Roy won.
All in all a good evening’s entertainment well organised by Rob, having distributed the quizzes and individual Bingo card over the internet. AR
