St. Clare's Hospice Quiz

On Saturday 15th October, 14 members of the group formed two tables of 7 at a quiz in aid of St Clare's Hospice, at the Village Hall in Theydon Bois. We reigned supreme, with both teams taking 1st and 2nd place. 

Well done to all involved, and thanks to Sue Sellwood for inviting us, and hope a good sum was raised at an enjoyable evening.

Two EFOG teams entered for the quiz on behalf of St Clare’s Hospice, held at Theydon Bois village hall on 15th October. One team had won it’s last two quizzes and was hoping to make it a hat trick. They played their joker on the first round (history) which with hindsight was not their best round but it gave them the lead and they never relinquished it. Some teams came close in their pursuit but the lead was never less than 4 points (2 points per question so closer than it sounds). The interval round was scored at the end so EFOG was not sure if it held the lead in fact.

The raffle was held at the end while the scores were being checked and we noticed that our numbers never came up. Feeling disgruntled, our mood lifted as the results were read out, lowest score first, and we were delighted not only that we had won again but our other table was second. Will the organisers let us enter next year?
