Rotary Quiz

Well, your two teams: the Upstagers and the Luvvies did not win any laurels but neither were they carried back on their shields. Team 1 came 11th and team 2 16th, but we are not sure which was which. I am not, anyway. It was a fun night and we had a lot of laughs, but just to show how hard it was can you answer these questions without 'phoning a friend'? The teams got them right!
What name is given to a fruit tree trained alongside a wall with a vertical stem & tiers of horizonatal branches?
What was the first vegetable to be canned?
What is the title of the latest Harry Potter novel?

I won't mention all the easy ones we got wrong because we spent too long arguing.

And another question was "Which sportsmen are not allowed to wear beards?" - the answer given was "Jockeys".
This appears to be one of those urban myths which has entered society's mindset as fact, because there is no actual rule or law preventing jockeys from having facial hair - merely that they choose to do so. You're gonna have to shave, Jim, if you want to win the national!!!!

Well, here I am in the CADS Cyber lounge...a new boy. Squirrelchaser but you can call me "Squirry", if you like.
Didn't we do well at the Quiz? Hadn't realised before how much I don't know! Mind you, I'd always suspected it.
