Speakers’ Corner
Thursday November 14th - Quiz and AGM
To be held at Lansdown Hall - As you know, timings are a little different for the AGM.
Doors will open as usual at 2pm.
At 2.15pm the proceedings will start and at 2.25pm Clive Edgington (our resident quiz master) will start the Quiz........Clive will ask a question and it will also be displayed on the screen to ‘help with the thinking process’.
The AGM will start at 3.15pm and hopefully finish by 4.15pm, whereupon the quiz answers will be displayed on the screen, each quiz team will mark their own sheets and the winning team will be announced.
Refreshments will then be served - mulled wine, tea, coffee, soft drinks, mince pies and cake.
To book your place on a quiz team contact speaker@stroudu3a.org.uk or by phoning Joan Toon on 01453 757720 stating AGM and Quiz. If you only want to attend the AGM use the above contact details but opt just for the AGM.
Those electing for the quiz will be allocated to a group and a table, thus another chance to meet other members.
Please book in advance so that those arrangements can be made. Latest booking for the Quiz will be midnight on the 13th November 2024.
Any member only wanting to attend the AGM should also book in advance (to ensure we meet our quorum) and arrive before 3.15 when the normal seating arrangements (i.e. in rows) will be provided or, of course, you can join those at the tables once the quiz has finished.
