Hastings Sierra Leone Friendship Link

A great Music Quiz

Friday 13th turned out to be lucky for ther Link: last week we had our biggest and best ever Music Quiz.

22 tables of quizzers puzzled over Lesley-Ann’s clever questions, all ingeniously linked to the number 3. With Richard indisposed, Dave Hooper stepped into the breach and did a fantastic job, keeping everying moving at a good pace. Top ranking on the scoreboard kept changing hands throughout the evening. After Round 10, the 78’s, Pam’s People and Ladies Gone Gaga were tying on 97 (out of a possible 110). The 78’s finally snatching victory by winning the tie-breaker. The Picture Round (impossible, I thought) was won by the Blackbirds with a score of 22 out of 24.  Together with a raffle and a mini-auction, the evening raised £1120. An amazing fillip for the Sanitation Project.

Our thanks to Lesley-Ann, to Sophie and Elsa and the other runners, to Dave Hooper himself, to those who donated prizes and auction items, and to the Headteacher and Staff at St Paul’s for hosting the event.
