Quiz Night

Last night, me and most of the other scouts were helping at a quiz night hosted by the parents of, one of the other scouts going to the Jamboree. It was a lot different to what I expected.

Basically, we went to the church room of the village and set up eleven tables. There were going to be eleven teams of seven, and the other scouts and I had to read out quiz questions, and collect in their sheets. The room filled up quickly, and the quiz laws were shown on a projector screen. These were the first 2 laws:

1. The quiz master is always right.
2. Where in doubt, refer to law 1.


When the quiz actually started, we had to read out the questions. There were 10 rounds (5 rounds then supper), and 10 questions in each. All scouts (except 1. No, it wasn't me) had to read out 2 questions. Each table had a picture sheet, e.g flags of the world, filled in the sheet, and passed it to the next table when the round finished.

We had to do 5 rounds, then we had chilli con carne, but there was a disaster. THERE WAS NO SALAD LEFT! Well, it was first come, first serve.

After the actual quiz, we held a raffle, and the host had been using a prize to cover up the projector so that the spreadsheet with the scores on was covered, so that's why we finished about a minute late. Overall, it was a fun night, and I got filled up with jacket potato and chilli con carne (and no salad) and a soft drink. Also, this morning, I was told that i have another £90 from the quiz night, and i was given over £91 from the bag packing on the night.
