Quiz at Victoria Baths on Thursday 22 September 2016

For September's social six of us went to a fundraising quiz at Victoria Baths in Longsight.  We do one or two workdays each year at the Baths and this was the second time we had visited for a social (the first time being to see Romeo and Juliet in September 2014).

Teams were limited to four and so Sue and Neil supported Team MNTV (Daniel, Megan, Kate and Uta) from the bar.  The quizmaster was Anne Hegerty from ITV's The Chase, the 1000th episode of which she said is airing very soon.

The quiz was hard and we didn't do particularly well (we were nearer last of the 12 teams than first) but were chuffed to know an answer that Anne confessed she didn't know (that 'uncle' is a slang word for pawnbroker).  By happy chance we did very well in the raffle that followed the quiz and each of us took home a prize!

Before leaving Neil took us on a short tour of the Males Second Class pool and the Turkish Baths where we saw the beautiful Angel of Purity stained glass window and the Aeratone (the country's first jacuzzi).

Thanks to Neil for bringing the quiz to our attention and to Sue for organising our participation.
