The 2016 Advent Quiz
Thanks to all who entered this year’s Advent quiz, I hope you enjoyed trying to answer the questions and it kept the old grey matter working over the festive period. A big thanks (as always) to our quizmasters Don Dawber and Dawn Sharples without whom there would not be a quiz at all.
In the end there were a number of people who got full marks so it came down to a tie-breaker. Those that got full marks were sent the photo shown below and asked to provide a 10 digit GR for the spot the photo was taken from – not as easy as it sounds! The winner? A big well done to Joe Jackson who managed to pip the others to the post and win the big prize, whichever it is he choses. The answers are shown below in red (to put you out of your misery 🙂 )
The tie-breaker (which was for those that scored full marks):
Give the 10 digit Grid Reference fro the spot this photo was taken from:
