It was the final film quiz of the year last night, dearly beloved, in the Gwyn Hall in Neath, and as a consequence, also the final quiz of the league, instituted this year.
Normally we don’t attend the Christmas films quiz, because
we’re not that interested in them. However, being as we thought that we were
going to be proclaimed league champions we were definitely going to turn up.
OK. As for the quiz itself, we thought we were completely
out with the washing, after two absolutely dreadful rounds. Much to our
surprise we came joint second. It would make no difference to the league, but
it was nice to look back on a year of 11 quizzes in which we had won 7
outright, been joint winners in 2 and had a second place and a joint second
place.
So, the time came when the scores were announced. Then, as
what appeared no more than an afterthought the QM announced – yeah, about the
League. . . I’ll put a post on Facebook about it in the New Year.
Let’s put a brave face on it. Maybe he wants to compile
everyone’s scores and show every team that took part in any of the 2023 quizzes
where they finished in the League. Maybe. But let’s be honest, they knew who
the League winners were by the end of last month’s quiz, so they could at least
have announced it. One of the more charitable members of our team suggested
that maybe it was because they didn’t want to overshadow last night’s winners.
Well, again, maybe. Still, I’ll be interested to see what the post says when it
eventually appears, and whether, indeed, there is going to be any prize at all.
As we all know, no prize is a better prize than panto tickets. But I did feel
that last night was an anti-climax.
