So, Tuesday 30th April, saw the latest installment in the Queens Road Big Lunch Quiz series (our 4th I think), Le Big Lunch Big Quiz.
Due to some marvellous artwork on the posters and flyers from Dewi Thomas and some hard work leaflet dropping and publicising the event via Pinto Lounge, on social media and by word of mouth, we were almost over-subscribed but we managed to squeeze everyone in, a lovely problem to have.
It was great to see multiple teams from Queens Road but also some local Banbury teams who had seen the flyers in Pinto Lounge and of course our friends from the Banbury Twitterati who always support us.
Antony Goodman, our ever-present quiz master, challenged both himself and us all by putting together 6 rounds of French-flavoured brain teasers which included food, drink, film, music, pictures, logos, mash ups and historical events – one to remember: the last place the English gave up when leaving France to the French was…… CALAIS, so a bit like we do today then !
Well, after 6 challenging rounds with 5 different round winners the results were announced and “QuizTeamAguilera” were pronounced winners, just 8 points ahead of last year’s victors.
Embarrassingly that was the team which 2 of the organising team were in (including me !) but we humbly accepted victory and put ourselves up f0r being knocked off our perch at next year’s event – as if everyone wants to do it all again, Becky the Manager of Pinto Lounge has offered her support to us and given we raised £201 after costs from the event towards the funds for Le Big lunch Street Party, we no doubt will be looking to hold a Queens Road Big Lunch Big Quiz in 2014 !
Thanks again to everyone who came along, donated time, effort and resources to make it such a successful and fun evening.
Here’s to the next event !
