Book Quiz IV took place on January 23rd at MLK. Three organisations fielded teams - the BCA's (British Cultural Association) Clubs led by Donald C; FOAL's (Friends of the Anglophone Library) Hearts, led by Edwin H; and AWG's Diamonds, led by Maggie P.
Thank you to Phil, the Quizmaster, who took us through the quiz rapidly - each team was given 30 seconds to answer their question, with a chime halfway through to encourage an answer.

| Scorers Katharine C and Philippe M |
In order to mix the groups up, each attendee was given a playing card (a club, heart or diamond) and that was the group one was supposed to sit with: didn't happen. Most (but not all) of the AWG membership sat in the Hearts team.

| Phil C was the Quizmaster |
Anyone who didn't like the questions should complain to Katharine C, who set the quiz. Katharine watched Jan C leaving, with Bruno, just seconds before the AWG team was given a question on a book that Katharine Cknew Jan would answer correctly - about the book The Time of our Singing, by Richard Powers. Timing is everything!

Thank you to Maggie for leading AWG's team and for the support from her team members. Thanks also to Edwin and Donald for leading their teams - it was great to have the addition of the BCA this year for the first time.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported this event.

| Orla and Phil during the social hour |
It was well-attended, and the usual raucous time was had by everyone. The Gardienne left us the key to Salle 1, so we had an extended merry social hour after the quiz.
