National General Knowledge Quiz Final 2016
More than 100 ladies came
together to take part and
support the 11 teams who
had made it to the National
Quiz Final. Question master
for the day was Jenny
Rideout, with other Trustees
kindly distributing and
collecting quiz papers and
taking care of marking.
Our timekeeper was former
National Chairman Sue
Smith, who kept us running to schedule.
After round five, the
halfway mark, we had a
short break for tea and coffee,
which was very welcome, as
chatting had made us thirsty!
At this point, West Midlands
Federation held the lead by a
small margin – but there was
still the second half to go!
With all 10 rounds
completed, the winner was
announced – and it was
Chesterfield & District
Federation that took the
title for the third time.
West Midlands Federation
managed a solid
second, and
third was North
Durham Federation.

We were a cheerful group with some of our number clad in 80s ‘going out’ favourites of bright wigs, leg warmers and fingerless gloves plus oversized earrings and clusters of necklaces. We were asked to consider our 1980s style and ponder on some big questions of the time like Who shot J.R? Was Michael Fish right when he said there would be no storm? Could Alvin Stardust teach you how to cross the road, when seen wearing a glove with a ring on the outside of it? And was a bum bag the best way to keep your valuables safe?
