Date: Tuesday 26th May 2020 from 1915 – 2130…ish
Venue: Zoom
Kit: Wear running kit, Garmin/Suunto watch or similar
Questions will be based on the Winter and Virtual Talks and what we have all learned from Covid-19. You can binge watch the Talks on the http://carnethy.com/social-events/club-talks/, or you can guess the answer.
Peter Cain has offered his Charity Aid Foundation Fund to boost the charities we have donated to by up to
£1,000! Yes, One Thousand Pounds.
All Club Members and Friends are invited to help win this money. Please join in.
How will it work?
You will join everyone else on Zoom which will be used to run the quiz. The Zoom invite link will be emailed out next week. Fear not, this is all easy stuff.
How does the money get involved?
Each correct answer is worth £20. Zoom calculates answers a bit like ‘Ask the Audience’ in the quiz show “Who wants to be a millionaire”. The majority vote of the correct answer wins £20. The total won will be shared equally between the charities for this season’s talks.
Can I still add to the Charities?
Yes. Like all the Winter and Virtual Talks, we ask each player to donate £5 (or more it you can) to one of the charities that we have already raised money for. Add “CARNETHY QUIZ” so that we can count the final total club donations made.

Can I do this in a team?
Each individual computer or phone will be randomly allocated to a team by Zoom Controller (Sean Walker). You will meet your new team to say Hi at the start of the quiz, again to do a challenge and at the end.
Why do I need to wear running kit?
Mid-way through the quiz we will break for several challenges requiring you to do something. The winning team will win a bonus Prize of £200 to allocate to their favourite charity or charities as listed.
How long will it take?
Maybe two hours. Bring cakes and beers for the end of event celebrations.
