Village Quizes
NB - This page is in development!
For many years an Annual Village Quiz has been held in Denton, normally early in the year.
More recently been joined by another event, under the Quizaid banner, supporting Christian Aid, held in the autumn.
The format for both is normally similar:
Teams, of up to eight or enough to fill one VH Table, are formed in advance or on the night.
They answer ten questions on ten categories, five before supper and five afterwards.
They can play their Joker, which doubles their score for that round, on the category of their choice.
A Table Quiz is provided for completion during supper, and Spot Prizes awarded for, shouted-out, responses to inter-round Questions.
The winning Team of the Annual event receive the "Brain of Denton" trophy and invidual prizes. The team in last place are awarded the "Wooden Spoon" trophy.
In recent years another trophy, the "Bone of Contention", has been introduced. It is awarded to the person who upsets the Questionmistress most by challenging her answers.
The names of some of the winning teams appear below, but for some years, indicated below with highlighting,
