1st March Home to the Park Taverners

The Lemmings had no game last week having already been eliminated from the Cup/Plate rounds.

It is always a pleasure to play the Park Taverners, we have known them for many years and they have become firm friends. Jack The Hat was again playing for the Lemmings(i.e. all conferred)  as we settled in to a lovely log fire and an excellent selection of real ales among which was a new recipe from the Abbeydale brewery released under their testing label Dr Morton.

We liked the specialist questions very much as they were all interesting with a mixture of classical and popular questions although at the end of that section we were trailing with 44 points to the Taverners' 53 - not bad for three people.

The general knowledge however seem to have been a vetter's nightmare and although some questions had been changed other suggestions had been ignored - perhaps from a lack of experience. The Lemmings were again trailing at the end with 50 to the visitors' 61 making a final score of 114 to 94.

Individual scores were Bob 15/15, Sunil 6/3 Nick 9/9 with conferred 11/13 (thannks mainly to Jack) and 3/10 pass-overs.

We were then offered a splendid selection of sandwiches (included Brian's roast beef!!) to round off the evening - many thanks Brian, thank you to the Park Taverners for a very pleasant evening and to Andy the question master from the Nag's Head.
