MNTV social: pub quiz at The Hesketh, Cheadle Hulme on Mon 9th March 2020

Five of us, a smaller group than usual (partly due to concerns about the current coronavirus outbreak) met at The Hesketh this evening. Sue, Phil and Andy had a meal before the quiz started while Karin and Richard joined us a little later.
As the quiz papers were being handed out, we were told that the format of the quiz would be different this evening because the sheets had been prepared to raise money for charity. We would be taking part in the World's Biggest Pub Quiz, which was running between
8-12th March, raising money for Action Against Hunger. A donation bucket was circulated before the quiz began.
The quiz started with a picture round, all the names of the people in the pictures had a link to food or drink, then we were asked questions from 5 different sections and the answers in each section had links to something, be it sport, colours, mathematical terms, writers or elements. This was fun and helped us decide if an answer was likely to be correct.
Although there wasn't 'officially' a music section, the quiz master likes doing a music section, so added that in as an extra.
After we swapped papers with another table, the answers were marked before the papers were handed in to the quiz master to be collated. When the scores were read out, we came 7th out of, approximately, 20 teams - so not a bad result (mainly thanks to Phil's amazing contribution!)
