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.

Tonight was a good turn out. We had James, Chloe, Eleanor and Luke on the ladies team "Loose Women" and Janet, Daryl,Ross and Paul joining team "The Seagulls."

Caprice this week was quiz master giving a tricky quiz of four rounds. The four rounds included; Geography, History&Politics, The Arts and good old General Knowledge. The Arts Round again proved to be the most challenging with some really tricky questions, it really got them thinking! This week's winners smashed it with a respectable 28/40 "The Seagulls" Well done to them, what a cracking score!! "The Loose Women" scored a well earned 21/40.

It was tough tonight, the quiz had some tricky questions We will return next month this time with a music and a picture round! We hope to see you there!

Five goodgymers ( Caprice, Daryl, Eleanor, Ross and Janet) met for a short run to the carehome for our monthly visit and were joined there by Keith. We arrived hot and sweaty and ready for a summer-themed quiz, written by Caprice this time. Regular resident quizzers Vicky, Jess, Phyllis and Joyce were joined by Daryl, Janet and Keith to make 'The Hot and Sweaty Brainiacs', while Ross and Eleanor joined regular quizzers Janet, Sandra and Beryl, as well as first-timers Linda and David as the aptly named 'The Winners'. After a very tricky music round, all were glad to face twenty questions of trivia. The teams were well matched with their knowledge of UK beach resorts, but The Winners took it all with their knowledge of the Dogstar. The final round on summer animals also sorted The Winners from The Brainiacs, with a little help from crocodiles, hedgehogs and three-legged crows. We look forward to returning in September.
