Whooooop!!! Whooooop!!
Last night, Manchester Local Guides gathered together for a last catch up meal before the end of 2018! For our last event, Iain G and I organised a quiz night!! Iain was the quiz master extraordinaire whilst I did the admin work of booking the venue, setting up the event and promoting it locally. Let's just say that general knowledge and I.. we're merely acquaintances and not BFF.
We gathered at The Wharf at 7pm and once all 10 guests (myself included) were present, we then divided ourselves into Team Elves and Team Reindeer through the magical power of the mystical Bah Humbug Santa's hat!
Team Elves
From left to right; Jess, Pete @PeteMHW, Iain (quizmaster), Alasdair, Zoe, Alan @deadmanjones (I think he was considering the gravity of being an elf Lol).
Team Reindeers
From left to right; Alain, Iain (quizmaster), Tim @TimBull, David and myself.
We then proceeded with Round 1 ending nicely with the starters arriving, had Round 2 during mains and Round 3 during desserts! Team Reindeers took the lead at Round 1 with a 3 points advantage, but Team Elves came squeaking back (I'm assuming that elves squeak!) taking Round 2 and the lead by 1 point! By the end of Round 3, Team Elves advanced their lead by another point, winning the overall quiz by 2 points!
Congratulations to Team Elves!!!
More photos from the night!
And it wouldn't be a Local Guide event if we didn't have food pictures too!
And if you're curious to know what the questions were for the quiz.. and even want to test yourselves, why don't you give it a go! Spoilers: I took the photos at the end of the night so you can see all the answers already!
Round 1 - Local knowledge
Round 2 - Guess the famous persons
Round 3 - Fill in the blanksNeedless to say, the proof is in the pictures(!), we all had an excellent time! Thank you so much to Iain for organising the quiz!!! It was fun and enlightening!! And how did you fair in the quiz? Did you get all the answers? Let us know in the comments below!!
2018 has been a great year for Manchester Local Guides!! We had tons of events this year:
We hope to maintain this if not have more for 2019!! So if you're interested to take part and join in, do let us know in the comments below! And massive thanks to everyone who have been supporting us and taking part in the events!! You are all super stars in my eyes!!
From all of us here in Manchester, we wish you all a pleasant festive break with your family and friends!! And do bear in mind, that at this time of the year, there are folks too who are alone and/or depressed! It is a real mental health issue, so do reach out and share the warmth and comfort of friendship! Smile, say hello, chat... sometimes just a little bit can go a long way!! Wishing you all the very best and may 2019 be an even more awesome year!

Nice recap @AdrianLunsong. Thanks for sharing. I can feel your Christmas spirit all the way to Bulgaria. 🙂 I've been making people Christmas postcards for a week already. This is the one I kept for my home:

Like many around the table I was contemplating the gravity of quiz sheets and lit candles!
A great year of memories as a local guide, let's keep the momentum going for 2019.
