A small but mighty crew of four turned up to celebrate GoodGym Nottingham's third birthday at the Fox and Grapes in the city centre.

We were keen to replicate the heady days of winning the pub quiz at the Lion in Basford a couple of years ago, and made a sterling effort. Matt's geographical doodles gave us the edge in a round on longest country borders, there was an excellent collaborative effort in figuring out that one of the Bontempi organ remixes was Born Slippy by Underworld, and we had a good bash at getting some of the top 10 crisp brands in the UK (who knew Frazzles were so popular?)

The final bonus question was delegated to Matt – one person from each team comes up to answer a question written down on a piece of paper in front of the quizmaster. There was some sneaky trickery in the wording of said question, though. Matt knew that the last execution by guillotine in France was in 1977, and we were sure we had it in the bag, but the question actually referred to the last public execution by guillotine, which was in 1939. Bye bye, £60 bonus prize!

When the scores were announced, we were absolutely delighted to have come in third! However, another team, obviously having taken it very seriously, demanded a recount of their score. Unfortunately they had been incorrectly marked and we were demoted to fourth. Ah well, a £5 drinks voucher probably wasn't going to get us very far anyway.

Thank you to every one of you for attending our sessions over the past three years! Reinvigorated by meeting other GoodGymers from around the country at Shindig, we're working behind the scenes to help make GoodGym Nottingham the best it can be. If you have any feedback, things you want us to do, or want to get more involved by joining Rachel, Peter and Leah on Task Force, just get in touch!
