Tuesday 19th August. Fish Supper and Quiz
After several years of not having a summertime get-together, we had a Fish Supper followed by a quiz on Tuesday 19th in The Beeches. This was a most successful event.
60 members met in the function room at the back of the pub. Once we were all settled and sat down with our drinks, the tasty fish and chips was served with ample bowls of mushy peas and tartare sauce on the side. Service was very good, friendly and prompt. Coffees and teas followed before Tony started the quiz.
We had time to look at photos/paintings of 15 various US Presidents to try to identify them, followed by a couple of rounds of general knowledge and film/tv questions. The scoring rate was pretty high on most tables but the table with least people (just 4) was declared the winner.
It was generally thought to be great fun and we are now looking to see if we can do something similar, or different, in a few months time, most likely after the Christmas lunch and Burns supper.
