Following the frequency of visits by the members of our office to the pub next door landlord Noel kindly agreed to organise a Quiz Night and Raffle in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
With team names such as “We didn’t sleep with Ryan Giggs”, “The Baywatch Babes” (for reasons only known to themselves), “Jis” and “Peaked too soon” it was sure to be a good night.
Selling raffle tickets was an eventful process – the selling pitch of “only £5 a strip” was very quickly stopped by Lisa and Lyndsey for obvious reasons – but the tickets for Peter Kay sold well and was eventually won by the locals bookie …. “bookies always win” said Noel.
With Noel as Quiz Master the questions soon got underway with rounds including “Odd One Out” (there was plenty of Odd Ones Out that night) and “Food and Drink” (the latter half of the title being Mel’s specialist subject).
Things got slightly competitive when Adrian, Chief Financial Officer, told Jim, Management Accountant, that if Jim’s team (Dongles United) beat Adrian team (AJ United) they could swap jobs for the day. Everyone was subsequently rooting for Dongles United when Jim promised the whole office pay rises.
With “Jis” deciding that it wasn’t worth finishing the last round, AJ accused of cheating on his i-phone but then announcing that he couldn’t be cheating because he didn’t know how to use it, Jim answering every question with “Bob” and several bottles of wine consumed between “Baywatch Babes” and “Peaked too soon” the quiz was eventually won by “the drunk blokes at the bar” with “we didn’t sleep with Ryan Giggs” coming in second.
A good night was had by all which continued well into the early hours with a certain member of Dongles United not leaving the pub until 4am.
A massive thank you to Noel for organising a great event. The Quiz and Raffle raised £305.90 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
