Quizzes
We've been running 2 Quiz Nights a year in March and November for the past 20 years. It says something for their popularity that more than half of the teams who joined us 20 years ago are still with us today. We are currently holding them in the Cliddesden Millenium Hall which allows us to accommodate up to 25 teams and provides adequate parking. It is important to book your table early. For most players it is just a fun night out. But there is lively competition between the top 2 or 3 teams.
It costs £20 for a team of 4. We open at 7 pm for a 7.30pm quiz start. We generally finish around 10pm. We run a low cost bar and offer a selection of sandwiches.
The format of the Quiz is 10 rounds each of 10 questions on a variety of subjects. Each team is issued with a Joker which they can play on any round before the round begins to double their score for that round. Between rounds, while the scores are being put up on the boards, we ask a "Spot" question. Anyone who thinks they know the answer can write it with their team name on a slip of paper and drop it with 20p into a bucket. The winner is then drawn from the bucket and gets to choose a prize from the prize table. Scores for the full Quiz are generally between 50 and 90. The winners receive 4 bottles of wine - lowest scorers (usually received with greater acclaim than the winners) get a box of smarties or a wooden spoon or some other appropriate acknowledgement of their performance.
There is only one significant rule and it is that our answer is correct.
