The Dengie Quiz, November 2007
Dengie Amateur Radio Society run a now yearly Quiz & invited CARS
to join them. Trevor, M5AKA encouraged CARS to join but disappointedly few turned up.
Why? The Hall is nice once you have found it - the company great - good
radio & social spirit & excellent food with enough to feed the whole of Maylandsea!
On Monday, 26th November a number of cars found their way along the
bleak roads which lead to Bradwell and stopped at the Dengie Village Hall.
It is difficult to find in the dark & the returning commuters know every cats eye
and try to drive like the well know motoring TV presenter, Jeremy Clarkson! Regardless of
having 4 headlamps in ones rear view mirror, 2 metres away - If you hit me - you pay has to be
the order of the day!
Apon arriving we were invited to a nice strong cup of tea and selected a table.
The brief rules were read out with a change this year - one had to declare which section
of the quiz you were going to "Play your Joker".
On each table a number of photographs were displayed with a range of
questions to be answered - these were for the whole table's attention. There
were some stinkers!
At Half Time the call "Please get your Food" was made.
As for the past number of years the table in the anti-room was groaning
under the weight of beautifully prepared food.
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 occassionally.
Thanks Dengie for organising the Quiz and providing superb food.
