Parish Plan Quiz
For those who attended the village meeting on September 27th we list the quiz and answers.
The prize of a voucher for groceries donated by Keith and Stephanie Wilks was won by – Keith and Stephanie Wilks!
As they didn't set the questions, or see the quiz in advance, we don't suspect
foul play. But we do wonder how they
will divide the prize: will Keith serve Stephanie with half the groceries
and Stephanie serve Keith with the other half?
They scored 221/2 points out of a possible 30 and only two other entrants
scored more than half marks.
So we think we know our village? . . . . better brush up on our local knowledge
before the Future Needs Day!
