Despite the road closures in the village due to the vide grenier on Sunday, our teams showed great resilience and participated in Fridays fundraising quiz held in the village hall at Verfeil. Here are a couple of comments from our participants.
”The whole evening was great fun, thank you for all your organisation and to the rest of the team. I’m looking forward to the next one!!!”
”It was a great evening. Thank you”
Gill and Karl had been busy researching the questions for 10 rounds of questions and, as usual, ran a great evening of quiz mastery. The delicious chicken, Thai green curry with a vegetarian option, made by Sarah Belcher of La Guinguette qui bouge https://lebouibouidupays.fr/la-guinguette-qui-bouge/ at Varen, was a hit. I had the veggie option, which was not just tasty but also satisfying. A big thank you, Sarah, for your support and generosity.
Our fundraising team member, Caroline Mills, baking extraordinaire, spent Thursday in the kitchen making enough chocolate brownies for dessert (with little left over). In between baking, Caroline also managed to put together prizes for the green fingered garden raffle.
With 8 question rounds and Gill’s dog-related picture round (it is getting more challenging to find links to being dog-related as each quiz comes along), the teams’ general knowledge was put to the test.
During the quiz, on an expertly arranged table that Hannah had set up, her ‘muddy paws’ range of Tea towels and tote bags were available to purchase (and can still be ordered), along with, according to our canine friends, amazing-tasting handmade biscuits by Amanda.
Once again, pass winners team Saint Projet Saints won, with a close second going to Brian in the kitchen. FYI, Brian was nowhere near the kitchen. Team D&D, along with helper Sandra Bush, covered the serving, clearing, washing, and drying up, so thank you to all involved.
Thank you to all who supported us. We made just over 1000.00 euros (1001.76, to be precise). This will go towards keeping our dogs healthy, comfortable, and content, along with creating a new canine resident area, but that will be a future post.
The winners, team Saint Projet Saints.
