A bit of a marmite (or anchovy, if you prefer) quiz last night with two teams tied on 35 for first, two on 30 for third and then a rather steep drop off in scoring, with the next closest on 23.

See how you get on

Elm Tree quiz with a difference last night. One messes with a proven format at one’s peril. But the combination of Backwards Day being this week and my being in denial about having a significant birthday meant that, as a one-off, the quiz was run backwards, starting with the General Knowledge Round and ending with the Word Round; and all with a backwards-ish theme.  (Online version however follows the normal order.)

Scoring was very tight : 32, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28 … With Anthony’s team pipping Eve’s on the tie break by marginally better knowledge of when the Venus de Milo was dug up by a Greek farmer (1820).

Many thanks to everyone for their kind best wishes, cards, drinks, rabbit-related items and singing.

See you next week.

Cheers

18 teams and over 80 quizzers last night in a nicely full Elm Tree.

Top scores 34, 32, 32, 31, 29, 28.

John’s team at the bar had a good night even despite not realising that the answer to one question was staring them in the face all night. More on that next week.

Unfortunately at the end of the evening it was discovered that someone had departed with Alex’s Berghaus jacket/coat. I am sure that wasn’t intentional. If you have the coat please return it to the pub.

Many thanks

Cheers

Happy New Year to all.

Welcome back to another year and challenging Elm Tree quizzing.

Top turnout last night as we huddled together for warmth (assisted by canine companions) and enjoyed an excellent quiz from John, especially for fans of Spiritualized. We were provided with the below visual reminder of Jason Pierce’s medicated imagery. If you are not a fan of Spiritualized, shame on you.

Top score was 36, followed by 32.

All the best
