PP Funno chaired a highly entertaining footy trivia competition at Wednesday's club meeting.
He began by dividing the members into four groups and invited each to select a unique ID. They were:
- GTT
- Schultz's Protocol (N.O.)
- Sandi's Sinaloa Cartel (SSC)
- Hopefuls
The questions and activities were then spread over four quarters, as in a normal AFL match.
The first quarter questions were focussed on the Brownlow medal and the remaining three quarters covered the full gammit of AFL football knowledge, from final team positions in the league table, Coleman medallists and historical facts.
Funno managed to intersperse serious footy questions with fun activities and general knowledge questions selected from the back of screw caps from Carlton Draft beer stubbies . Very original, don't you think?In this way non-footy oriented participants were able to contribute to the scoring and the fun, and the winners were rewarded with the choice of either a Rotary pen, or letter opener.
The fun activities provided competition points for the winner's team and included:
- Heads and Tails won by PP Laury Gordyn from the Hopefuls team
- Quoits won by Adwin Town from the GTT team
- A handball competition, won by PP Gary Evans from the Hopefuls team
- An apple peeling competition for the quickest and longest peel, won by President Lea Paton from the GTT team
The 'SSC' team achieved a massive score of 84 in the first quarter, thanks to the contribution from Gary's mum (By mobile) and were never really challenged thereafter. Although, it should be noted that the 'Hopefuls' made a terrific effort in the "Premiership" (3rd) quarter, but it was not enough to catch the eventual champions.
The winning team were rewarded with a frozen chook for each member, which was hesitantly accepted by all.
The knowledge of some of the participants was particularly impressive, but the thought lingers that perhaps they had 'Google', or Gary's mum, on their side as well.
In fact, it has been suggested that we should have registered them as guests on the night.
Congratulations and thanks to PP Funno for organising a really enyoyable and entertaining evening for everyone.
