20th January 2022 Quiz – David Eldridge

Although we were reduced to 17 people in attendance due to an outbreak of Omicron, the ones who did attend were treated to the induction of 3 new members: Gail Parkinson (introduced by Mary), Mike Wiseman (introduced by Stan, who was unable to attend) and Gerry Short (a free transfer from Melton Mowbray R C…no fee involved and introduced for this event by Rob)

Gail is a Counsellor, Mike: Compliance and Gerry: Further Education.

Unfortunately we then had to suffer a wait for the food, which was fine, but the service was slow.

This created a situation to rush the David E quiz: Where in the World? But he coped admirably, splitting it into two parts, the first being 21 International Vehicle identity Codes, which challenged us with a few ‘wobblers’ like Croatia, Jordan, Alderney, North Korea and Taiwan.  However, the second part was to identify places that drive on the Left Hand side, which David identified from his research as 34% of countries in the World, a staggering 76! It was a tight contest with Alan F, Doug, Mary & Jane coming out the winners with a total of 49. Second place was awarded to Gerry T., Gail, Rob and Allen R with 44; Peter, Duncan, Mike W. & Gerry S accumulating 40, which left Gordon, Derek & Steve C. bringing up the rear!

As the time fast approached 9pm, President Gordon congratulated David on his “quickly run Quiz”, for which we all showed our appreciation, in the usual manner, after the chocolate prize had been shared amongst all competitors.                                AR
