The local Lions set up a Thursday night quiz here at the start of lockdown and the last one (the 15th) was last night.
They started it as a fun community event and they just do the questions then you self mark your answers. Mostly the same teams each week, and some from as far as Wisconsin and Ontario!!
I wouldn't accuse anyone of cheating but e.g. there were two rounds last night where teams claimed full marks yet there were some really quite obscure (to me) questions. As it's only for fun it doesn't really matter though.
They have a donations page and have made over £4000 from it, all of which has gone to the local community hub which provides "food parcels, toiletries and other essentials to anyone in the borough who is vulnerable, isolated or elderly, and to families in need."
So all in all it's been a really good thing - we've looked forward to each week it even though we seem to be relatively thick!! :-)
