???????? Arts Festival Quiz Night ?????????

Congratulations to the Famous Fives who were the winning team in the very first Tonbridge Arts Festival Quiz Night held at Ye Olde Chequers Inn last night. They scored a 74 points total (I think) which gave them an average on each round of about 8.5 out of 10, an incredible achievement which had nothing at all to do with the fact that they were all lecturers from West Kent College and therefore boffins no doubt. Pipped into second place was a team made up mainly of teachers from Tonbridge Girls Grammar School, English dept no doubt, so bad luck them. Commiserations to the M+M's, who were the resident Chequers team. They did very well on the sport round, using their joker to good effect, but, sadly, not so good on the books questions and, since it was mainly a literary based quiz, scored an average per round of about 2 points. But even they didn't go away empty handed, oh no they did not. In a mad moment I found myself (as Question Mark ? the quiz master for the evening) offering them a consolation prize of £17 worth of Mr. Books vouchers: one for every correct answer you see. It was a great night and that Directors Ale at the Chequers didn't half go down well; they serve a good pint down there so they do....
