So sorry to have not made it to the end Steve. I remember waking and saying I was back and BT commenting, in jest, that I’d won, then I remember no more 😄

Who did win, Arthur, Polly? Or did someone else creep up while I slept?

I saw the thread at the top of the list of posts at 9pm and thought ‘oh no, I’ve missed the quiz’. Then realised it’s only Thursday!
Hopefully I’ll be in a spot with good signal tomorrow night. 

[Bern]

Bump,  only about 30 minutes till the quiz starts. 

See you in the chat room soon 

 

[Bern]

In joint third place with 9 point were SteveO and Wanderer, in joint second place with 12 points were NikO and TigerHawk, and the winner with 15 points was Arthur.

Thanks for your quiz tonight Bern. You definitely had your hands full with so many players. 👍

And well done to Arthur. 

[Arthur]

The quiz formaat that Bern has used.

40 General knowledge questions

Was very well received and would seem to be preferred to the seperate subjects format.

Therefore, I intend to do next weeks quiz the same way.

General Knowledge questions with a break at half time for drinks etc.

All are welcome to join in.

Sounds great Arthur and we look forward to the quiz. I think the GK approach is the way to go as it doesn't penalize/favour specialist knowledge on a given topic. Thanks Bern, for leading the way on this.  I think I will be going down the same route, if and when I am in a position to set the questions.
