2011-11-24 – District Quiz Winners – Earley Troop

Despite initial set backs with an attack of fatigue, a toothache and a no show from the original line-up, two emergency substitutions were made in the form of James and Henry who joined George, Connor and Robert to form the Earley Troop team. 

Rounds included Chocolate/confectionery cryptic quiz (eg High class road – Quality Street), picture quizzes (current affairs, sportsman) music round (TV theme), skittles sweets – guess the flavour, countries cryptic quiz, Mario kart Wii, transfer of smarties with a straw to name but a few.

The event was well attended, with 8 troops from the distrct represented and just one table free, which served as a good base around which the attending leaders could gather.  Suffice to say that the Earley Troop won the competition with a 6 point lead and a total of 127 points.

Thanks to Keith for managing the team and indeed to 8th and the district team who make these events possible.

Well done!
