Quiz 11.03.26

QUIZ,  Wednesday 11 March 2026

The meeting on Wednesday 11th March took the form of a quiz with three teams of men and a team from Omagh ladies probus. The question master was Mrs Anne McBain with Mrs Dorothy Haugh and Mrs Ann Orr, acting as markers and scorekeepers.  In all there were 8 rounds of 10 questions each, testing general knowledge across a diverse number of subjects. Three picture rounds were based on world famous landmarks, car badges, inventors, and inventions. Questions on history, geography, art, and literature also featured in what turned out to be a fun morning. Easter eggs were presented to the winning team and to the ladies for their sterling work on the adjudicator’s table.

At the close of the session club President, Aidan Quinn, thanked everyone for their friendly participation and Jim and Anne for providing refreshments served to members and guests on arrival. He expressed special appreciation to club member, Jim Graham, who had organised the quiz and who in the days prior to the event had convened meetings with his team to set the questions and prepare for the event. Jim and his team were warmly thanked by all present, with the success of the morning marked by expressions of hope that the quiz might be held again at some stage in the future.

No club business was conducted on the 11 March, all the time being devoted to the quiz and the companionship it engendered among members and guests.
