our quiz night meet: the book club - beeston parish council
TRANSCRIPT
On the brisk wintry evening of Friday 10th February Peckforton and Beeston Village Room swiftly filled up as villagers and friends gathered to take the challenge of a Valentine themed quiz. Love was in the air as Darren took on the role of a firm but fair quiz master. He produced the widest range of questions we have ever been tested with and was confident about the right answers! Topics covered included food, drink, history and sport. We were asked about actors, music, world events and more…
The competition halted whilst an exquisite hot supper was served. During this we were all able to consider the picture rounds, looking for the answers and the connection. Brains tested, friends debated and ultimately team SHORS won the night. The raffle allowed many others to also win before it was time to go home. Another boisterous evening for all.
Big thanks to Darren, the kind people who donated raffle prizes and everyone who supported us! Tom Caffrey
Thank You!The Quiz was our first event following the installation of our energy saving windows made possible by a grant from CHESHIRE EAST COUNCIL. DW

The Book ClubMeet:“The Sea, The Sea”, by Iris Murdoch, had been a challenging read. Criticisms were that it seemed far too long and the reader developed no sympathy for any of the characters. However, the prose was considered to be quite beautiful and very descriptive. Did the new life of the main protagonist mirror his own past life in that it represented the stage of his past links with the theatre where many characters visited and performed and influenced his life? The book did provoke a fascinating discussion about our inner selves and how it may have some unconscious control. Maybe it’s not the story that’s important but the thoughts it provokes. It scored 6.1 on the PBBC scale.
The next book is “Eon” by Greg Bear. Yes, we are having another go at converting the sci-fi reticent!
We will next meet on 18 April.We currently meet in club members’ homes so please contact Daphne for
information on the venue.
