Hats off to President Anne Goulborn who compiled the Christmas-themed questions, and Quizmaster Martyn whose stentorian voice quelled the hubbub. In the interval there were raffle prizes galore to be won, sandwiches courtesy of the Kings Arms and home-baked mince pies capped with local clotted cream.
Fiercely contested, the quiz was not without controversy. One question involved how in 2017 a Totnes butcher had managed to extricate himself from his own freezer. A philosophical debate ensued pivoting on whether a frozen black pudding (the tool he used to escape) could be classified as a sausage. We were, however, all agreed a chipolata was not an acceptable answer.
Thanks to the eventual winners “The Wolfpack” for donating their prize to the Twinning coffers.
