Quiz group – May/June 2026

Only one meeting was held in May and those present were set questions on First names, General Knowledge, Countries with four letters, Back to school, Words, and Nicknames of Prime Ministers.

The quizzers played their joker on what they thought would be their best round but it didn’t work out that way for a couple. There were some high scoring rounds with one ten out of ten and only four points separating the teams.

The group showed how much they knew about Countries with four letters but were not up to speed regarding the Back to school round. Perhaps they need to attend a refresher course?

Here is a sample from each round for you to try to answer:

• What first name is linked to a 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier?
• The common garden gnome originated in which European country?
• Which country has an internet code of .tg?
• In Physics what must an object have to be affected by gravity?
• The word assassin has its origins in which language?
• David Cameron once described Boris Johnson as a greased what?

So there you have it for another month. In June we will be meeting on Monday 1st and Monday 8th.
