The Quiz Group meets every month at the Bath Inn and it is meant to be a social occasion where u3a members can laugh when they get the answer wrong.
It’s not intended to be Mastermind or University Challenge. Yes, we laugh at the questions we get wrong because we know we have a chance to get full marks the following month because that particular round is repeated, as the first round.
The first round is done on an individual basis to improve memory skills, as well as knowledge. The next two rounds (twenty questions in each one) are taken in teams of four people. Members choose their teams by selecting the name of their group from a bag. Selecting teams this way enables members to meet and make new friends rather than sitting with friends they already know.
Even though a waiting list has been created, there are still a few places available. Current members are asked to advise the Group Facilitator if they are unable to attend. This frees up spaces for keen members on the waiting list to join. The group meet on the first Tuesday of each month. When British Summertime ends on the 27th October, after group discussion, meeting times may change.
