Sunday 27th December saw the gripping conclusion to the 2015 Half Moon Quiz Series. As the clock ticked towards the allotted time the turnout looked poor, however a last-minute rush ensured ample competition between teams. The stand-in quizmaster, Jonathan, tested the competitors’ knowledge on subjects as diverse as British sitcoms, WWII military operations and The Fimbles (yes, we had to ‘Google’ it too!). With The Moonies absent and The Ted Banks Appreciation Society fielding a largely reserve team due to other commitments, the competition really was all to play for. At the mid-way point several teams were neck and neck, however a late surge by TBAS ensured both a historic victory and an early start to Mr Banks’ birthday celebrations. Thanks to Jonathan for his hard work in compiling and compering the quiz. The Blog looks forward to reporting on an equally exciting 2016 series.
