The Christmas Table Quiz in Timahoe NS was both enjoyable and successful. This prompted us to host an Easter quiz and, even as we go to print, questions are being gathered to challenge the senior pupils.

Our monthly Table Quiz, in Kelly’s Bar, Timahoe, will roll along in March, on the last Friday, the 30th, with Ann and Jimmy Smythe sharing the hot seat and taking the flak, following the pace set by Trish and Clare Kelly in February……. what a challenging night that was! Thinking caps were well and truly dusted off! Claire posed the questions, while Trish kept score. Thanks, ladies, for keeping us all on the edge of our seats…. each presenter adds their own touch to the quiz. This, in turn, adds variety and interest. I wonder what Jimmy and Ann have in store for us in March? I believe Emily has begun researching for April! We greatly appreciate all the presenters, for their time, effort and their personal commitment in making our quizzes so enjoyable…… and controversial. The proceeds are in aid of our much needed Community house. Each table Quiz is a step towards that goal.
