We held our first Quiz Evening on Friday 15th February. Eight teams took part in this exiting evening of cerebral challenges. The event was split into 8 rounds with a break half way for a Ploughman's Lunch.
Ian Hambidge was the Quizmaster for the evening and said "This was my first time as quizmaster; I really enjoyed it, as I'm sure everybody else did. I look forward to doing this again soon". At the end of the evening 'The Pretenders' came out on top with 71 points beating their close rivals 'Providence' by just one point. Well done to all those that took part.
Jive Talking!
Maiden Newton villagers are in full swing every Monday learning how to Jive. Their instructor, Elder Taylor, comes all the way from Utah in the USA. He said "I saw in the local paper that the community wanted to learn to Jive and offered my help. I enjoy teaching the dance and am pleased that the lessons are so popular".
All of this activity is in preparation for the open air concert by AJ's Swing Band, who will be performing their Glenn Miller tribute in the grounds of Greenford School on Saturday 21st June.
