WI Quiz evening

8 members of Binegar WI were at the WI Quiz event held at The Poachers Pocket at Chelynch. It was a fun evening - the quiz was better than last year - more fun - there weren't so many requests for repeating questions etc.

Helen was the question master / Iris and Anne took scores. Each table scored for the next table. Unfortunately we did not have enough for two teams of 4 which made things a bit difficult. However, our team of four came 6th out of 8.

Members involved: Helen, Iris and Anne (jobs as above), Kath, Betty, Jo, Ruth and Eileen. We had a really fun evening whatever the scores. There was a huge supper of a variety of rolls (ham/cheese/sausage plus chips) Goodness there was still enough left afterwards to feed an army!!

As there were only 8 rounds this time - Helen set a cracking pace and we finished 5 rounds before our supper - this made the rest of the evening very casual and we were home by 9.30pm which suited some members very well - especially Jo who has to get up at 4.30am to sort out the newspapers!! All in all a very good event - the skittle alley was full of people with 8 teams of either 4 or 5 and much laughter and the noise at supper time was phenominal!!!

Although the WI suggested resolution for supporting local pubs did not get chosen this year - we were doing our bit last night!! Probably our lunch clubs do as well on their once a month outing! Their venue next week is "The Castle of Comfort", I believe.
