Quiz

The first quiz of the year was held on the 1st March at the Cherry Tree. It was set by Phil and Pat Manser, the question master being the Chairman James Goulding

After a closely fought contest, two teams tied with 5 points out of a possible 21. This meant two tie break questions, which went the way of the quiz in that nobody knew the answers. The result was finally decided on the toss of a coin and a box of Terry’s ‘All Gold’ went to Tina, Nigel, Andy and Katie. Commiserations to the winners as they will have to set the next quiz, which is due in June

Thanks to Phil and Pat for setting the questions, they obviously had a box of dates left over from Christmas!

IMM 2009

August 2009 saw the club at the IMM which was held at Longbridge to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Mini.

The rain stopped on the morning we arrived, but the park was still a bit of a quagmire covered in straw.
