Steve Carson Quiz

26th January 2023 Quiz Night with Steve Carson

Ashmores was not available, so we had a temporary move to The Bingham Bowls Club, where we were served by Steward Rob and assistant, who also prepared a buffet meal for the 23 attendees. President Rob informed the members that the 18^th of may had been booked for our Virtual Informal Charter celebration evening with a £35 Chinese banquet. Arrangements had also been made to book Grange Hall at Radcliffe for our next Fund Raising event, again with some Tribute Band, yet to be finalised.

 But we first had to “sing for our supper”, that is answer the first 26 alphabetical questions in our Teams. Steve had decided to let us select a piece of paper with a number on that split us into ‘teams’ of 6. How many Rotarians required to change a light bulb comes to mind!  Total chaos with lots of noise for the next 15 minutes, whilst the team table arrangements took place, which finished with two teams of 5 and one of seven, probably to account for Jo, on her second visit to see what Rotary is all about!?

Some good scores resulted in the first part of the quiz, which, after the buffet, was followed by a Music quiz, ranging from John Denver through the Sex Pistols to Eight Days a week from the Beatles and finally a further 20 general knowledge questions.  Needless to say that all 3 rounds were won by the “Brains Trust” team consisting of Alan Folwell, Adrian, Gerry Short, David E and Rob.

President Rob thanked Steve for his quizzes, acknowledging the time taken to put together the questions and an enthusiastic round of applause followed from the members who had enjoyed the evening and experienced a good ‘default ‘ venue.                                   AR
