It was nice to see so many Goodgymer's brave the weather and come along to the Care Home for the Monthly Quiz {please don't leave it so long}.We split into two teams so that there was an equal amount of residents and Goodgymers on each team. The quiz started with a picture round which was name the dog i.e. Mutley which was fun then we had a round where a phrase was handed out and you had to count up how many F's there was,this was followed by Two General Knowledge rounds.Once the scores where added up both teams had 50 points each so we had to have a tie breaker question not one,but three questions later we had a winner.Which was Janet's Team The Smart Alecs and a close second was Lea's Team the Smart Thinkers.Well done to you both. Once again thank you for you all for coming along it means so much to all the residents. Next Month after the quiz we are going to the Alpine Bar in the Square for a Drink so please come along and Join us Its Monday December the 8th please make a note.

Nine Goodgymers attended the monthly care home quiz. Well done to Eleanor for putting the gym into Goodgym by running all the way there and back! It was lovely to receive such a warm welcome from the residents now that it’s turning darker and chillier outside. This month Janet took on the role of quiz master, starting with a picture round of old movie posters from the 1930s and 1940s. This caused much discussion among the three teams, with renditions of Judy Garland hits being heard across the room! Unfortunately, our lovely 100 year old resident couldn’t quite remember where Judy Garland’s train was going (St.Louis) so the film title evaded her. There were science and nature, geography and general knowledge rounds, with a few trick questions thrown in. Did you know that Albert Einstein’s wife was an Einstein even before she got married? Turns out, only one of our teams did (or they made a lucky guess)! And the Waikato River may sound Japanese but is, in fact, the longest river in New Zealand. Congratulations to the Middlemarchers with a phenomenal total of 41 out of 46. There was only a point in it for the two runners-up teams. Well done everyone!

It was time once again for GoodGym’s monthly quiz night at Abbeyfield Wessex—and what a fantastic evening it was! Janet and Keith joined our favourite ladies, The Loose Women. A big warm welcome also goes to Tony, a new resident at Abbeyfield, and to Lea and Daryl, who joined forces with Team The Winners. Caprice stepped up as quizmaster for the evening, and she didn’t go easy on the teams! The quiz featured four lively rounds. We kicked things off with a tasty challenge: Name That Chocolatey British Biscuit. Next came an egg-themed round that cracked a few smiles. Then Caprice really turned up the heat with a round of eight tricky puzzles that had everyone scratching their heads. The night wrapped up with a good old-fashioned general knowledge round. Both teams were brilliant, and it was a tight contest! The Loose Women scored a very respectable 27 points, but it was The Winners who lived up to their name, finishing with an impressive 31 points. It was another great evening filled with fun, laughter, and lovely company. The GoodGymers will be back on Monday, 2nd July, for more quiz-filled fun—this time with Daryl stepping in as quizmaster. We hope to see you there!

Tonight’s session was all about quizzing fun at Abbeyfield Wessex! This time, Paul and Mohammed joined The Loose Women, while Eleanor sided with The Motley Crew. Caprice took the reins as quizmaster for the evening.

The quiz featured five lively rounds, including a nostalgic "Name That Gameshow Theme Tune" and a playful "Sink or Float" round. Caprice kicked things off by handing out random household objects, prompting the teams to guess whether each item would sink or float. At the end of the round, she tested each object in water—one point awarded for every correct guess!

Both teams brought their A-game in a very close match. The Loose Women scored an impressive 36 points, but it was The Motley Crew who edged ahead to victory with 39 points!

A great evening filled with laughs, teamwork, and a little friendly rivalry. Who knows what next month’s challenge will bring?

The GoodGymers will return on Monday 9th June for more quizzness—we hope to see you there!
