Summer Quiz Night at Ernstell House
Our beloved family at Ernstell House recently enjoyed a fantastic Summer Quiz Night, joined by some keen members of our community in Plymouth. The event was not only a massive success, but also a brilliant experience for all involved, as everyone enjoyed an interesting, brain-teasing quiz, delicious food and beverages, heartwarming company, and there was of course, a very special prize for the winning team!
Our extremely talented kitchen team kicked off the lively event in style, living up to their renowned reputation by producing a scrumptious buffet, complemented by a delectable selection of homemade cakes and a variety of drinks to choose from. While everyone enjoyed warm conversations and the impressive array of food, an enthusiastic buzz of anticipation began to build, as 7pm crept closer – the start of the Quiz!
The Summer Quiz featured five official rounds: Geography, TV & Film, History, Sport, and Music, offering a wide variety of questions, and ensuring there was a topic that everyone could test their knowledge on. In total, there were 50 thought-provoking questions, and it can be said with confidence they passed in a flash. The saying, ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ comes to mind, as joy, determination and a slight sense of competitiveness filled the room, and everyone had a crack at some challenging queries.
Despite each team providing an excellent scoresheet and commendable efforts, it all had to come down to one victorious group. The suspense was rife, as the Summer Quiz came to an end, and the results began to be tallied. Eventually, the rankings were decided, and after an appropriate tension-building drum roll, the glorious winning team took to the stage, receiving well-deserved applause. Scoring a formidable 32 out of 50, they took home a shining, engraved trophy! Serving as something they can treasure for years to come and a reminder of their unforgettable triumph, it is safe to say the winners were ecstatic to receive the silverware. It is worth mentioning of course, the trophy was joined by a cheeky bottle of Prosecco for the winners to enjoy!
Events like this bring a strong sense of excitement, stimulation and social interaction for our loving group, three things we hold dear and love to encourage across our community at Amica Care. It was an outstanding turnout at our stunning home in Plymouth, packed with eager attendees and boasting a remarkable number of teams taking part. Through this fabulous event, we have managed to raise an exceptional total of £70 to go toward our beloved Residents' Fund! This is truly astounding and serves as a beautiful testament to our passionate community at Ernstell House, alongside the profound memories that have been created.
We recognise the significance of engaging events like these, providing our residents, their relatives, our team and participants from the local community a chance to connect and be a part of a special experience with one another. Quizzes in particular are beneficial, exercising cognitive skills, stimulating conversations, and providing a fun challenge for everyone to relish and enjoy.
Without a doubt, we all had an absolutely splendid time at the Summer Quiz Night and already cannot wait for the next event on our calendar. Also, we are excited to announce that due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from everyone involved, the Summer Quiz Night will now be an annual event! We already can’t wait for next year and would like to give a huge thank you to everyone involved who helped to make the Ernstell House Summer Quiz Night such a special event!
