Agnes presents the prize to the winning team


Quiz night - 20 May 2015


St Mungo's wins back the 'Smart Alec' Teddy Trophy in the interchurch quiz held on Wednesday 20 May in the church hall.

A great night was enjoyed by all when we welcomed teams from St James the Less and the South Church who both commented on how good it was to enjoy a social night with each other and wished it could happen more often.

We had five teams varying in size from five to seven members named The Hopefuls, Pat's Team, The Sindicate, The Last Resort and last year's winners Cabbage Ha' renamed this  year as Cabbage Ha' Revisited. 

Gordon MacDonald and Agnes Ovenstone shared asking the questions and keeping the score.

The evening was so full of fun that some of the questions had to be repeated because of the laughter.

One of the questions asked was whose catchphrase is "To infinity and beyond" the answer to this is of course  "Buzz Lightyear" and we even had actions.  Another question which caused a lot of headshaking was "How were Bingo, Drooper, Snorky and Fleagle better known".  Understandably this had to be repeated!  The answer of the Banana Splits brought a lot of "who are they?" although one team could sing us the theme song. 

We had questions on film, television, food, pop music, pot luck, sport, geography, flags, capital cities and the bible.  The bible questions were set by our minister Hugh Davidson and he was very strict with the answers. 

We had a break halfway through when tea/coffee and a variety of loaves and cakes prepared by the social committee was served.

The winning team "The Hopefuls" comprised of Christine Jackson, Moira Dickson, Debbie McCall, Helen McCall and Margaret Barry.
