'Who wants to be a millionaire?
'Who wants to be a millionaire?' asked Bryan Waddle, as he kicked off the social evening and created a riotous evening with his brilliant compering which had members laughing and enjoying themselves. Teams of 4 were given a marking sheet with questions 1-5 worth 5 points each, 6-10 worth 6, and 11-15 worth 9. The questions were fairly obscure, as evidenced by the results from many of the tables who had clearly only got 2-3 questions right. In addition to the general questions, there were two 'Who Am I' questions, one won by Jenny Lucas and the other by ?? The team who were declared the winners with an amazing total in the 40s, were the team comprising Leigh Corner, Tania Woodcock, Colin, and Lorraine Whyte who had great knowledge of New Zealand trivia. For those members who weren't even in the country to know many of the answers, some of the questions were a complete mystery! The team who scored lowest - was it 11? - were given the booby prize to share, though quite how they were to share it also remains another mystery.
