A MIND FOR MOVIES – A GREAT SUCCESS
03 Dec 2024
03 Dec 2024
Chichester Cinema would like to thank this year’s Quiz attendees for your great support and enthusiasm.
The winning team was the Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan table who scored a very impressive 32 out of 36… However… they were tied after the 3 rounds with the Dune team – made up of some of our Film Club (18-25’s) members. It was only after a tie-break that Greystoke was declared the winner. We can’t wait to see you all again next year.
Thanks also to the staff and volunteers for your hard work, The Pig in the South Downs, The Royal Oak, The Horse & Groom, Amberley Castle, Wild Starts and Q Hair & Beauty for your gift vouchers, Southbourne Farm Shop for your Hamper, Carol Godsmark & Merivale for the limited edition prints and Will Dyke for the beautiful Count of Monte Cristo framed print!
Below are the 36 questions from the night (without accompanying videos or images of course), but why not have a go at it and see how you would have done.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, as you would have been in a table of 6 on the night trying to work out all the answers. (Answers further down).
