Daryl meet Caprice ,(its great to see you again don't leave it so long we love to see you).Romy and her friend Gemma, who came along for the first time it's great to see you we look forward to seeing you again. We walked the short distance from the triangle to the care where we meet up with Paul who has just come back from 6 weeks in Asia.Before we started the quiz Vicky who is a 101 wrote us a poem which goes like this.On every second Monday,of each month throughout the year, Regardless of the weather,Our good Gymers do appear,Armed with many questions, And pen and paper too,Are so helpful with the questions,When we don't have a clue,So we thank you dear good Gymers, For the effort that you make,And the time you spend in giving us,A pleasant welcome break. By Vicky 101. That was so touching when she read it out. Back to the quiz we had a table top round where they had to guess the country from the outline then there was 30 general knowledge questions the scores where out of 39 the winners were the Dimwits with 23 second was the Smart Asses with 20.5 so it was very close.The evening was very enjoyable we look forward to next time .

Six Goodgymmers, Daryl, Janet, Mohammed, Ross, Keith and Lea, equalled the old people in numbers. Where was everyone? Eh one in pyjamas, one on a cruise, etc etc. Not to worry, in spite of braving the horrendous weather, we quickly split up on teams. Lea, being extra nervous as it was her first time as quizmaster, lost half her notes and the answers to the pictures quiz…. But she pulled herself together and then all of us had a great time answering geography questions, questions related to “Sunday” and Pot Luck questions. With team “WET, WET,WET” winning with 34 points, team “TWO” came a close second with 27 points. On our way to next month’s quiz for sure.

Six runners braved the weather and came to the Care Home for the first quiz of the year and boy what a surprise we had they put on a supper for us Cheese and Biscuits snacks and one resident made a cake plus there was even wine it was a nice surprise.We split into two teams ,the names being Next Door To The Fridge,and The Octagons.We had 30 questions ,20 questions on 2025 and 10 on General knowledge.In the end it was a tie on 19 points each so we had a tie brake and the winner was Next Door To The Fridge.After which we all had supper which was every nice we where spoilt.We shall be back to the Care Home on the 9th Febuary please put the date in your Diaries.

It was nice to see so many Goodgymer's brave the weather and come along to the Care Home for the Monthly Quiz {please don't leave it so long}.We split into two teams so that there was an equal amount of residents and Goodgymers on each team. The quiz started with a picture round which was name the dog i.e. Mutley which was fun then we had a round where a phrase was handed out and you had to count up how many F's there was,this was followed by Two General Knowledge rounds.Once the scores where added up both teams had 50 points each so we had to have a tie breaker question not one,but three questions later we had a winner.Which was Janet's Team The Smart Alecs and a close second was Lea's Team the Smart Thinkers.Well done to you both. Once again thank you for you all for coming along it means so much to all the residents. Next Month after the quiz we are going to the Alpine Bar in the Square for a Drink so please come along and Join us Its Monday December the 8th please make a note.

Nine Goodgymers attended the monthly care home quiz. Well done to Eleanor for putting the gym into Goodgym by running all the way there and back! It was lovely to receive such a warm welcome from the residents now that it’s turning darker and chillier outside. This month Janet took on the role of quiz master, starting with a picture round of old movie posters from the 1930s and 1940s. This caused much discussion among the three teams, with renditions of Judy Garland hits being heard across the room! Unfortunately, our lovely 100 year old resident couldn’t quite remember where Judy Garland’s train was going (St.Louis) so the film title evaded her. There were science and nature, geography and general knowledge rounds, with a few trick questions thrown in. Did you know that Albert Einstein’s wife was an Einstein even before she got married? Turns out, only one of our teams did (or they made a lucky guess)! And the Waikato River may sound Japanese but is, in fact, the longest river in New Zealand. Congratulations to the Middlemarchers with a phenomenal total of 41 out of 46. There was only a point in it for the two runners-up teams. Well done everyone!
