Update – November 2011
Thanks to everyone who turned up for our ‘Fun Quiz Nite’ on 10 November. We had just over 100 people there which was really great and made for a lively atmosphere. Russ Johnson, our Quiz Master, did a great job and covered a wide variety of topics, which got us all scratching our heads at times. The winning team went away with a jam jar stuffed with a mystery filling, although I have a feeling there were several coins stashed away in there. The team that didn’t do so well went away with a wooden spoon – useful kitchen implements if nothing else!
A new committee has been voted in and will be meeting on 22 November to nominate and vote upon the key posts ie that of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. The five remaining members of last year’s Committee – Tracy, Nicki, Andy, Simon, and Annabel – have all agreed to stand again, and we are delighted to be joined by Denise Freeman, who bravely put her hand up and volunteered at the AGM (which was held immediately prior to the Quiz).
When we next meet, we will be discussing how to take the Group forward during the next 12 months. Although last night’s event was a real success, overall support for the Group’s events this year has been very poor, so we need to decide how best to channel our energies. As I mentioned in my Chair’s report, we still intend to hold the children’s events early next year, a new fundraising bike ride is in the offing, and we will definitely consider holding another quiz night. The Family Support Group meetings are likely to be replaced with informal meet-ups at a local Indian restaurant.
We will probably produce and mail out an edited down version of Testing Times early in the New Year, after which only email reminders will be sent regarding upcoming events. Details will also be posted here on the Events page of our website - so watch this space!
