'We held a very enjoyable and successful quiz night on Friday 21st November at Goals Soccer Center in New Malden. 

Attended by around 100 adults and children, the evening passed off without any controversy, largely owing to the late withdrawal of our very own mad Scottish Cafe Administrator Shirley-Anne Cummings and her team - just as well, as she had threatened a repeat of the jocks at Wembley in 1977 when they nicked our goalposts, only this time she was planning to nick the goalposts from the boys 5-a-side pitches!!  Glad to report these are still safely intact.

Comprising of 10 rounds of a mixture of general knowledge, pictures and basically pure guesswork/sheer luck questions, it was apparent from the outset that the final scores were going to be very low, as the teams struggled with difficult trivia as to 'The colour of Scooby-Doo's dog collar' and 'How many calories in a Big Mac'.

A word here to quiz teams entering future quizzes - asking the questions for 3 and a half hours is very THIRSTY work, so in future all beers purchased for yours truly quizmaster would be much appreciated.  Thank yoop.

The quiz was won by a team affectionately known as C.A.C.C (captained by Little League Treasurer Mark Goldfinch), although C.A.C.C by name and not by nature as they led the field virtually from start to finish, which is actually quite sad as they obviously watch a lot of kids TV and films between them as they somehow managed to answer nearly all of the kids questions.   Are you guys unemployed or do you just indulge in hours of CBBC when your wives and girlfriends are out?

Wooden Spoonists were Edens United, captained by Lisa Eden.  Game effort guys and thank you for keeping up a good effort and spirit.

The quiz night helped to raise £265 for Little League, which was a very welcome surprise.

My thanks to all of you who attended what was intended to be a fun social night and I hope you enjoyed it.  Onto the Race Night in March - Hope to see you all there.

Cheers

Jay, Social Secretary.
