One of the duties left me by the wife while she is away next week is to mark her weekly quiz & give the winner their prize. Every week SHMBO produces a new quiz which is very popular with both holidaymakers & residents alike. The quiz takes various forms (themes/general knowledge/word associations/pictorial/anagrams etc), usually 20 questions, & is of my wife's own making.
It sells for €1 & the proceeds go to the children (holidaymakers & locals) who participate in the activities our Social Club run during school holidays and @ Xmas. Some holidaymakers even ask for the quiz to be emailed them to the U.K. after they have returned home. The winner gets a decent bottle of wine (choice of red or white), and if there is more than 1 winning entry a draw is made.
I just wondered what the thoughts were on someone setting up a Forum Quiz (say monthly) which "Members" (but not guests) could participate in. There doesn't have to be an entry fee, or a prize, just the answers & winner's name published on the Forum itself. The topic needn't be Stags, or Cars in general, but could be varied to cover a wide selection of subjects.
Any mileage in putting out "feelers" on the subject to test out opinions, and if there was enough interest would there be someone who would be willing to take on board such a venture. It needn't be a serious quiz, and you never know it might stimulate extra interest in the Forum - the SOC - and Stags in general.
You may think it a daft idea, or you may not - but quizzes do appear to be popular these days, and they do exercise the little grey cells. Reading some of the posts made of late - a little more exercise of the grey matter wouldn't go amiss in some areas!.
