Rotary club quiz

THE evening of Wednesday, 19 September, saw rival teams from Llanidloes Rotary and Pwllheli Rotary battle it out a quiz, with questions covering everything from snooker champions to precious stones.

At half time Llanidloes were just four points ahead but then in the second half they stormed ahead to a 55 to 40 victory.

Quizmaster John Breeze (who received the questions in a sealed envelope) thought the questions very hard.

Llanidloes team leader Dr Anthony Swindell said that the secret was in having a side with immensely divergent areas of knowledge.

Vice-president Rev John Davies thanked everyone and wished the Pwllheli team a safe journey home.
