Quiz night

We failed to have a Christmas quiz in December so the first quiz of the year became our Christmas event.

Upon arrival all teams were given their answer sheets, a set of mini Christmas crackers and a team colour (party hats).

The quiz had its usual selection of rounds but these were all focused around the theme.

Winning team (again), can they be beaten?

The rounds were (with some of the questions attached):

SECTION 1 – GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

  • Why do we hang out a stocking at Christmas?
  • What Christmas derived from Frumenty, a sweet and spicy beef and mutton stew?

    SECTION 2 – CHRISTMAS LITERATURE

    • In which book does Tiny Tim appear?
    • In which book does the character whose heart is two sizes too small and hates Whovilles celebrations appear?

    SECTION 3 – CURRENT AFFAIRS DECEMBER 25th

    • Which Egyptian President was born?
    • The Godfather of soul died, who was he?

      SECTION 4 – HYMNS/CAROLS

        I have always loved the sea and diving gives me that little bit of extra special interaction. I love diving anywhere and always find sites interesting and an exhilarating activity, constantly enhancing and improving my skills and knowledge. My favourite diving has to be around the British Isles and in particular St Abbs. It has everything, the sea life, the socialising, the history and the thrill. TSAC has opened up many areas and opportunities for me and hopefully will continue to do so in the future. Here’s to the next adventure.
