Secretary Phil Burgess did an excellent Seargents job with a quiz that had members guessing which board member he was referring to. The object of the quiz was for Phil to say a clue word, letter or number, that in some strange way was linked to a board member. He read out the first clue word and looked around the crowd expecting a flurry of answers. I think it is fair to say that Phil anticipated a much brighter group than was present on the day. As the questions flowed the crowd came alive, they did correctly link some of the clues with appropriate board member. It was good fun. Thanks Phil. For those that weren’t at the meeting or didn’t have their hearing aids turned on, hear is a copy of the clue words or numbers, with the names of the board members (in alphabetical order) The answers are below. | |
