Old Buckenham does things different

The Old Buckenham Alternative Quiz

On Saturday 24 May the Quiz Masters welcomed 31 people across eight teams to the Old Buckenham Methodist Church for the fifth Old Buckenham Alternative Quiz.

A varied mix of rounds and question styles including pictures and audio, entertained the participants as they strived to win and claim the 2025 Trophy. After taxing their brains on TV Dingbats, General Knowledge, A Load of Balls, What a Character and Hearing Voices; the quizzers were rewarded with some much-needed refreshments. This was accompanied by a handout round, aptly named Food for Thought, midway through the evening, before entering the fray for the final push for glory.

The second half proved equally challenging as the first with a variety of brain teasers, such as Jane Austen and her Novels, National Animals, Formula 1, Odd One Out, followed by the concluding music round Brief Introductions.

The results proved to be extremely close with the first and second teams being only one point apart. The glory and the trophy were won by, ‘The Servants of the Lady Ottoline’, with second place awarded to ‘Four of a Kind’.

A raffle was also held with all proceeds being donated to St Martin’s Housing Trust and the Old Buckenham Youth Club, which has recently been set up and is being run in the Methodist Church on Friday nights.

The Quiz Masters would like to thank everyone for their support and their generous participation in the raffle. We are pleased to announce that the amount raised was £233.00.

We, the hosts, hope the entrants enjoyed the quiz evening as much as we did – thank you again for your participation and contributions to our fund-raising efforts. We hope to see you all again next year.
