This really was an evening of great fun and good humour.

Beginning with Catering Manager Sam's celebrated curry and a glass of Prosecco, tables grouped together to scratch their heads over the 'guess the crisp' question - a source of much pontification and considerable inaccuracy for most of us – and to try our hands at select snippets of maths, geography, album covers, and frankly some of the most unfathomable anagrams you could imagine. 

Brought to task by our brilliant quiz masters, Robert and Charlie, we then whizzed through rounds ranging from General Knowledge to the Winter Olympics. Raising our competitive spirits, there was visible jubilation as the collective conscience of the Pilgrims' community came into its own, correctly identifying '90s dance tracks and arcane linguistic solecisms (television, anyone?). With final scores neck and neck, it was only at the very last round that the evening's winners emerged. A first for the parents, we think, in around 9 years. Not that we've been counting! 

Particular thanks to the quiz masters for putting together such a brilliantly-pitched panoply of trivia; to Dave, Matt, and Emma at the bar; to the Year 7 table for their Bond-themed outfits; and to all participants who came along and made this such a memorably enjoyable evening. As the saying goes, it really was all about taking part!
