Curly Christmas Quiz, 17 December 2025
It was a brilliant night at the Christmas Quiz – it really is fun & we had a good turn out.
This year, the Chocolate Round turned into the Biscuit Round..! But the fiendish round was the Celebrities disguised as Santa….
Anyway the question rounds are being posted to the Curly Facebook page, with some time to have a go, then later the answers are being posted too, so if you couldn’t make it on the night, have a look and see how you get on.
The results were as follows:
1st – Nigel & Sandra Spraggins, Jo & Brett Clayton, & Wendy & Richard Tarelli, with 55 points
Joint 2nd – Cameron Stokes with his mum, Alison, & sister, Emma
Joint 2nd – Jerry & Maggie Stephens
Joint 2nd – Heather Ewart with her son Piers, all with 52 points
3rd – Colin & Ellen Sutton, with 51 points
Well done everyone, and there are prizes for first, second & third. We hope you all enjoyed it…
Huge thanks to Carol Johnstone & Aly Clayton for pulling it all together, hosting it, & being the Curly Quiz Masters on the night.
See you all again next year….
