Maggie Sales and Heather Lindauer prepared a challenging and enjoyable quiz enjoyed by 9 teams of 4 parishioners and friends. The winning team of Jenny and Alan Trethowen and Rosamund and David Scoffham received the prestigious Golden Fish trophy. A delicious continuous lunch kept the brain cells nourished and the consensus was that it was a very happy occasion with moments of controversy over the correct answers to keep the proceedings lively.
