WI Quiz, 2019
A team of 4 from Kelsall WI (Evelyn Cragg-Hine, Joan Edwards, Jill Martin and Anne Tonge) went to the WI Quiz first round at Tarvin Community Centre on 18th March.
As usual, there were 8 rounds of 10 questions, with each round being a different theme. The first few rounds were relatively straight-forward, but the later rounds became more tricky.
It's not often that 100 WI ladies are quiet, but you could almost hear the cogs whirring as we all cogitated the answers! By the end of the evening, Kelsall came 3rd, despite scoring 75/80.
Some of the questions we missed were: (answers at bottom of the page)
1. Who was the US President at end of WW2. We should have got this!
2. Name the missing Teletubby: TinkyWinky, Dipsy, La-La, Noo-Noo, XX?
3. What does PCSO stand for?
We thought it was all over, but as we were leaving, we were called for tiebreak after the team placed second noticed that they had been given a point for a question they had answered incorrectly. The tie-break question was 'what year was Lord Mountbatten murdered?'.
We weren't close enough, so didn't get second place. However, we later found out that we have got through to the Quiz final in April as one of the highest-scoring losing teams.
