Dengie Quiz, November 2005

Changes
24th Feb 2008 Amended page coding, other minor edits and Dengie website link.


Dengie Amateur Radio Society run a now yearly Quiz and invited CARS to join them. Vice President Geoff, G3EDM undertook to organise the CARS team and issued invitations.

On Monday, 28th November a number of cars found their way along the bleak road (which eventually leads to Bradwell) and stopped at Henry Samuel Hall, Mayland, which was nicely decorated with Christmas bunting.

There was intitially a tie with Dengie-1 but ERG won it on a tie question which was "What date was the first Eurovision Song Contest"?   ERG said "1964" which was nearer to the correct answer, it was 1956.   See "History of Eurovision"   http://www.eurovision.tv/english/611.htm


The most important man of the evening was Dave Sampson, M1DOZ who was the Quiz-Master.   He produced dozens of very good questions and even had the correct answers - kept his cool when challenged by DA-Posse.
