Quiz Night

There was a great turnout of over 80 people for a Quiz on Friday evening at Shiplake Memorial Hall. Mark Manson, Quiz Master, soon had a competitive swing going as the 12 teams chose a team name, argued over when to play the joker card and then battled their way through eight rounds of questions and a marathon challenge which ran through the evening. Teams greeted rounds on music and sport confidently though there was much greater apprehension around The Sewing Bee round!

‘Partial Recall’ won the coveted chocolate basket prize for the marathon challenge where they correctly identified all 26 film titles from cryptic clues. Whilst the overall winners of the evening were ‘The Magnificent Seven’ who were presented with medals, a trophy and a box of chocolates. The runners up were particularly applauded as they were two team members down because of illness but they kept the scoring very close to the last round!

Bob Partridge, Chair of the Trustees, thanked everyone at the end of the evening for a most successful community event where it was wonderful to see so many local people of all ages enjoying themselves at the hall. The funds raised are to be used to purchase a drop down projector screen after the present extremely old screen had finally broken. The screen will be in use for the next Film Night at the Shiplake Memorial on Friday 11th October.

We were fundraising for the hall – an amazing community asset which relies on your continued support.
