Mark Tucker reports:
Sunday saw the eagerly awaited latest fixture in the 2014 Half Moon Quiz Series. Turnout was good with, we suspect, many hoping to witness a historic third successive victory by The Ted Banks Appreciation Society. The questions, posed by landlord Andrew, were as varied as they were challenging. The defending champions battled heroically and at the half-time point were romping away with a convincing one point lead.
Despite an encyclopedic knowledge of the boroughs of New York and the facial peculiarities of Caroline Quentin, the champions put in a poor second half performance and, at the final whistle, a four-point victory went instead to The Moonies. A spokesperson for The Ted Banks Appreciation Society said “It’s a huge disappointment for us all – you build yourself up to it and then to fall at the final hurdle is a massive blow. We’ll be back stronger, leaner and fitter for the next fixture though – those Moonies better watch out!”.
Thanks must go to all at the Half Moon for organising the prestigious event which raised a tidy sum of money for the King Arthur’s Camps International trip to Tanzania.
