QUESTION TIME: Members and guests pictured at the Stonyhill Bowls Club fundraising quiz night.
Around 70 members and guests attended a quiz night at Stonyhill on Saturday April 21 2012 and helped to raise funds for club improvements.
First question of the night was ‘Who wants to read out the questions?’ as regular quizmistress Sue Gower and husband Phil were stranded at home awaiting an AA mechanic to fix their car.
JUST THE TICKET: Understudy quizmistress Cheryl Cameron announces a winner in the raffle orgainsed by Ann Betts (centre) and Keith Theobald (right).
Cheryl Cameron stepped in and skilfully completed the 10 categories which included Children’s Time, Numbers, Science and Nature, Movies, About England, Sport, and Food and Drink.
The top cash prize in the quiz was won by the Hyland family scoring 120 out of a possible 146. Brian and Jenny were supported by sister Joan and husband Michael, son Richard and wife Beth, and friends Nick and Judy Street.
Runners-up were club members Norman Pascall, Keith Seelig, Les Powell and Ann Betts, and friends Brenda and Philip Pettennuzzo, and Pat and John Coffey. They were just two points behind the winners and won £15 which they have donated to Brentwood Community Hospital eye specialist Simon Ruben’s charity appeal. He was aiming to raise £2,500 for the RNIB by running in the London Marathon the following day.
Les said: “Dividing £15 by eight was just too difficult so we agreed to donate our prize to charity!”
Club member Fred Faulkener’s team were also prizewinners. They picked up the award for the team most likely to improve and shared a box of Cadbury’s Creme Eggs!
A ploughman’s supper was served at half-time and at full-time, raffle organisers Ann Betts and Keith Theobald supervised the prize draw.
Quiz night organiser Stewart Cameron has thanked everyone who attended and helped to make the event such a big success. And he has paid tribute to staff and volunteers for helping behind the scenes.
