Writhlington Flower Show Committee recently held a fun quiz night at Writhlington Village Hall after an absence of nearly two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was lovely to come back and meet some very missed old friends and supporters of our quiz nights and with a few new quizzers, too.

With many greetings taking place, it felt like some kind of normality returning to life. As Covid-19 is still with us, the committee worked hard to make sure all hygiene procedures were in place and that teams and tables were well spaced in the hall.

The raffle, as always, was well supported with some very good prizes, as was the ever popular £1 a pud, always a tough choice for these homemade puddings. There was a choice of lime and ginger cheesecake, apple cake and cream, blackberry and apple crumble and trifle. Someone there couldn’t decide (mentioning no names), but they had all four!

Our Chairman, Rob Langley, always brings a sense of fun to the evening as Quiz Master. After eight rounds of questions, the winning team were the Skitastic Spyders, who were presented with a small trophy and medals, the second placed team were Clueless of Wrightlington and in third place were the Water Babies.

Congratulations to you all, commiserations to all the other teams and less said about the wooden spoon!

Thank you to everyone for making this a fun and

enjoyable evening. After a two year absence, the Flower Show Committee have planned some future fundraising events with a Jumble Sale on Saturday, 5th February 2022, another fun Quiz Night on Saturday, 26th March 2022, all to support our Flower Show and Fete on Saturday, 20th August 2022. Thanks again to all.

Helen Gulliford, Secretary
