With great delight Friends of Osborne held our relaunched Quiz Night on Friday 24th June in the splendid Terrace Restaurant. Teams amounted to 6 tables of four players and 2 of five. Quiz mistress, Ms McDoom and her trustee sidekick, Wisden the scorer, kicked off the evening with Round 1, Hobbies and Leisure. Round 2 covered questions on TV Gold for memories of old.
The supper was served during the interval and it was a most generous Isle of Wight cheese ploughman’s with alternatives for dietary reasons. Delicious.
The Living World Round was pitched rather too high. McDoom blamed Wisden, a former Biology graduate as in their practice rounds he scored 10 out of 10, so McDoom altered her original questions. Round 4, Food and Drink restored harmony for the final totting up of the scores.
A raffle was held with a quality hamper, among the prizes, up for grabs. Photos below are of the winners of the Quiz (bottle of wine), the table questions (bottle of Prosecco), and the team scoring the combined total (the cup), which amounted to a Hattrick. Winning aside, everyone participated with good humour and spirit.
