Quiz Winners

Congratulations go to Alan and Catherine V! Phil H pulled their names as the winners from the bag, They were both chuffed to bits with the cup and the prize and have cleared a suitable space on their mantelpiece! On accepting their awards both Alan and Catherine were of course very emotional and wanted to thank some people. “Thank you so much for this incredible honour we are truly humbled to stand here in our garden and accept this prestigious award. First and foremost, we would like to express our deepest gratitude and thanks to our manager, our training staff who have worked tirelessly all year for this moment. We know how Luke (The Nuke) Littler must have felt Saturday evening after winning his match. This is proof that if you dream big and dreams do come true, ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you’re past your prime”

Trudi one of the club’s quiz masters said. ‘Many thanks to all of you who bought the 2025 Christmas Quiz and handed them in, you made a profit of £83 for the club. Lots of very near misses and lots in the bag, so well done all and I hope you had hours of fun working out your answers. Special thanks to last year’s winner, Rich Thomas, who was in the bag again this year, for selling 10 quizzes in the run up to Christmas. Alan & Catherine, that’s your challenge for next year!’

The answers are up in the clubhouse on the social board, until the end of January.
