Home again with some changes to the team - Sunil was out of town (something to do with the date?) but what a joy to welcome Bob back to the team, having resolved his transport difficulties.
We made all the usual preparations, sitting the visitors next to Brian's roaring fire so by round 2 they were no longer huddled round a table but spread out along the bench backs to the wall.
Despite this they remained very friendly and it was a most enjoyable game.
The questions we liked very much that were not the usual quiz book run of the mill but a mixture of classical music, myth, sport (no soccer) and a sprinkling of foreign or obscure English words.Plus a hilarious Dumb Britain round.
At the end of the Specialist the WGN had crept ahead with 61 to 51.
The General Knowledge questions were as interesting as the specialist rounds and the WGN managed to push ahead with 86 to 54, final score 147 to 105'
Indivual scores were Bob 15/24, Nick 12/9 and Paul 18/21 conferred were 10/17 and 6/15 pass overs. The home team gave away 1/4 Pass- overs.
It was a really pleasant evening rounded off with very tasty sandwiches - many thanks Brian, to the visitors and special mention must be made of Chris the question master who kept everything under control despite struggling bravely with some of the foreign and obscure words
