Don't forget it is the Chrsitmas Meeting & Quiz tonight.

Bring along something to nibble and something to drink.

I have the Calendars ready to issue out to those that have paid so far and to sell to anyone else that wants one. They would make nice Xmas presents for friends and family.

Hopefully I will see you there :)

I thought it was very good, but Tony has to be on our team next year!

Mike

Tony needs to be banned!!! Whatever team he is on always wins!

To be fair, though I have had Tony on my team before and he does let the team try to answer the questions first and only puts in answers when the team is stuck and in our case he only actually answered about 2 questions we couldn't answer.  It was reassuring however for him to tell us when we we had the right answers though.

Perhaps Tony should set the Quiz next time and that will solve the problem.

Carole

Jim

Yes, Tony has already agreed to do the quiz next year so we had better all start revising!

     A most enjoyable evening and an excellent quiz.  Thanks to all for a good time and especially those who gave up their time to prepare all the tables of food and drink.  We are looking forward to the next one. A very Happy Christmas to one and all and thank you again.  Rose and Doug.   :D
Always look on the bright side of life ...

A very enjoyable evening and Quiz - many thanks to all the organisers.

I wish everyone a Happy Christmas and clear dark skies for 2009 :D

Ian

well I enjoyed it. Thanks Jeff and Miriam for taking the time to write the Quiz. It made me realise that star catalogues are more extensive than the alignment catalogue on my mount ;)

I was disappointed no one ate the big juicy beetle that was on the buffet...

Doh !    If Tony's doing the quiz I'd better try and learn something  :(

Great evening and quiz thanks for the efforts of the organisers, "quizmaster" and those that did the food prep.

Merry Christmas everyone  :)

well thats a daft comment ?

Carole

Why?

Every-one is talking as though Tony provides all the answers. 

I was also trying to make the point about last year when every-one was making sarcy comments about my team winning that it wasn't just because tony was on our team.

I can always rely on you for a good put-down Chris.

Oops not a put down I thought it was funny thats all.
