Ye Wilde Century Quiz - almost there


Only 4 more (hopefully less hot) nights and then we'll party like it's cool. And it will be. In every sense of the word.
Our little flock is getting bigger and confirmations and reservations are coming in by the ton. Currently we have 4 tables left for the big Barbecue Century Silly Games event that goes by Ye Wilde Quiz #100.
Those who already have their table, remember the following:
  • We start at (or around) 7 pm so that we can get a spot of barbecueing done, without queuing and stressing. The door to the back bar will be closed as usual (just to keep unwanted strangers and moochers out) but if you're part of the party - DO ENTER without waiting and proceed to the BBQ area in the yard (or your table). Just make sure you close the door behind you.
  • IF you want to put the heat to some meat, do bring whatever you want to devour that night. Hobby chefs who want to rustle up a salad or special sauce or dessert, feel free to bring anything you've always wanted to test - in your kitchen, on your team or neighbours. If you make enough to share, brownie points for future quizzes are guaranteed. 
  • Remember that one round will be made up of YOUR questions. Each team has until Monday 9pm to send 5 questions (topics are entirely your choice, I reserve the right to discard any quantum mechanics, water polo rules, or Irish boy band questions etc. ;)) to the usual email address or as message through facebook. Don't forget to include the correct answers ;). We will pick at least 1 question per team, the asking team will have to answer pro forma but will, of course (?), have that point as a freebie (make sure you brief your team members :P). UPDATE: thanks a lot to DAQ, Cannonballs (nicely 100-themed ;)), Graces, both Feid Clubs and Gehirnzellenmassaker for the lovely questions, we have enough for 2 rounds now. Those who didn't send any - you'll have to rely on your luck and/or knowledge :D
  • There will be one round with 'best of' questions picked (randomly ?) from the last 100 quizzes. Mixed bag of nuts. Let's see if/what you remember :D
  • We will have a music round and a picture round, not sure yet what topic for the former, but the latter will be a mix of old and new.
  • Games rounds will include pitchers and paper planes, and maybe balloon animals if I get round to buying, and blowing up, balloons. UPDATE: Houston, we have balloons :D (we will also have instructions ;))
  • Anyone who feels compelled to bring a camera, please do. I have only 1 battery for mine and will most likely not have the time to take pics all night. 

So much for those who are already (im)patiently waiting for Thursday. It's gonna be fun!

Those who don't have a table but want in on the fun - PHONE OSCAR WILDE. Emails/text messages/tweets/facebook messages will NOT be accepted.
Likewise, if you realise (at any time between now and Thursday afternoon) that you can't make it, please phone Oscar's to cancel and thus vacate your table. We always have strays or last minute bookings.

Any more updates/discussions in the fb group. Find us, join us.
