Xmas Quiz – 15th December 2005

This is traditionally an evening with a festive theme, with a little more than the usual refreshments. After the coffee break Tony Sizer marshalled us into teams and presented us with a quiz including rounds on observatories, Messier objects, space probes, satellites, and music with astronomical connections. The Old Peculier team romped into the lead from the start, but were widely considered to have had an unfair advantage, even if they did have some strange ideas as to the wherabouts of certain craters. Far greater acclaim was accorded to The Tea Ladies. At the end of the evening at least a few members found their way to the Change of Horses in time to round off an enjoyable evening.
