Quiz

The RMS is celebrating its 20th year of existence with a number of functions. Tonight, they had a quiz where teams of 6 to 8 members answered general knowledge questions. All participants paid 2 pounds registration fee, and the winning team received all the takings towards their favourite charity.

The baptists decided to enter as well - perhaps we could boost our rockfall fund. Our team consisted of Graeme and myself, Vincent and Vilma, Geoff and Madison.


We were surprised to see how many people were participating - 208 in all.There were teams trying to raise money towards all sorts of things - Girl guides; nature conservation; new medical equipment; care for the aged; etc, etc. Unfortunately, we did not win. The ladies from the Arts and Crafts did. Their organisation tries to supply material (fabric, thread, paint etc) to the local crafters at affordable prices. They also then sell the crafts that the locals produce. Their business was floundering, and they were delighted at the new injection of funds.
