A fantastic 61 quizzers gathered for an evening of friendly rivalry, excellent food and plenty of laughter. Expertly hosted by Richard Ormond, with able assistance from Sue from The Dunes, the teams battled their way through eight challenging rounds before a tie-breaker finally separated the leading contenders.
History, geography, sport, film and television, music and general knowledge all featured, testing the grey cells to their absolute limits. There were inspired guesses, confidently delivered wrong answers and more than a few “I knew that!” moments once the answers were revealed. We even learnt some interesting new words, although only a select few of them can safely be repeated in polite company.
The evening certainly went off with a bang, helped along by a superb Bonfire Night supper from The Links. Guests tucked into fluffy baked potatoes generously loaded with homemade house chilli, with both beef and three-bean vegetarian options available, followed by delicious cheesecake. It was exactly the sort of warm, hearty food needed for a November evening.
Our thanks go to Richard for the tremendous work involved in setting such a varied and entertaining quiz, and to Sue for helping everything run so smoothly. Thank you also to The Links kitchen and hospitality teams for the excellent supper and service, and, of course, to all 61 entrants who supported the evening and created such a lively atmosphere.
After a closely fought contest, congratulations went to the winning team, “We’re All Here Now”, captained by Wyndham Collins. They held their nerve through the tie-breaker and claimed a thoroughly deserved victory. A brilliant evening of food, fun and fierce competition and a wonderful reminder that Tenby Golf Club knows how to brighten up a dark November night.
Roll on the next one!
