    It's going to be a tough day although I have a good team of helpers. We have to set up the sound and projection equipment, tables and chairs for over 90 people, prepare all the food, get the raffle set up and then run the quiz.

    No electronic equipment allowed for the contestants, all phones must be turned off unless someone may be expecting an important phone call. Those people must tell me in advance and have their phone on their table and not on silent. If it rings they must leave the hall to take their call and can't come back in until the end of that round - unless they have to leave in an emergency.

    I only give them two rules for the quiz
    1. The quizmaster's decision is final.
    2. If you disagree with the answer or decision - refer to rule one. :whistle: :heehee:

    It's a very popular quiz that I've been setting for 30 or 40 years and all proceeds go to charity. :blue thumb:

      Good morning, just barely morning left for most of you!
      It is still pitch here but I imagine that it is as cloudy as the guessers have told us. Funny how they never seem to be in error when predicting dreary days :scratch:

      I've got clothes washing started as it is low time of use electric rates today and soon I will be doing a bit of vacuuming. My granddaughter and I will be heading out the door in a couple of hours to go pick up her sisters at my son's place to come back here for a sleepover. It is her sister's weekend with their father (divorced) and it will be a surprise for them as they don't know she is in town :biggrin:

      We're going to stop on the Oneida indian reservation on the way to pick up a few things at their store. Then when we're back and after having fed everyone lunch, it's time to make cupcakes. We have two birthday girls (cousins) so will celebrate with the cakes tomorrow when the rest of the family comes for lunch. Already got a casserole ready to pop in the oven for that and will make bread in the morning.

      Otherwise, not much else going on. Just enjoying a cuppa as the washer does the work. Much nicer than beating the laundry on a rock :heehee:

      Cheers all and play safe :)

            Aloha everyone,

            The quiz went very well. All the teams but one scored over 80% and and I had to ask a tie-breaker as the highest two scores were 92%. Two members of each team had to come to the front and the first one to shout out the answer was the winner. Great fun was had by all. :blue thumb:

            I'll be out there working today :phew:

            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

            Aloha!

              Good day
              It is still dark here but I can most likely rely on the sunrise revealing a cloudy sky. I've got the bread makers administering a beating to dough for me to form into rolls for today's lunch and as always also a loaf of gluten free for autistic grandson.

              There will be 11 or 12 for lunch but I am serving buffet style so a simple layout.

              Have a super day and play safe!

                      Good morning everyone.:)

                      Exciting times are ahead @Flumpy :dbgrtmb:


                      Went for a lovely walk around our neighbourhood yesterday, love to look at all the gardens, so much is on the move now. Lots of Daffodils and snowdrops in particular.

                      Warms the cockles of your heart.:biggrin:

                      Have a great day!:spinning:

                            Aloha everyone,

                            It's a bright sunny morning and I've already done some work outside. Just having a cuppa and then back out. :blue thumb:

                            No daffs out in our garden yet but there's the first hint of colour on our Saphora - my favourite tree. :)

                            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                            Aloha!
