On the 8th of Feb, 2008 we had an AWESOME trivia night. We were split into 4 teams named “The Illumin8 Posse,” “Paige 214,” “The Team,” and “Ice tea.”  Each team had to create a “war cry” for a chance to win bonus points.

Marg had prepared a bumper night of trivia questions, physical challenges and wild cards. The questions ranged from old and new testament trivia, women of the bible, biblical authors and recipients. Questions took the form of multiple choice, true or false, and speed rounds.

 Some of the hilarious physical challenges included “Who can hold a mouthful of ‘eno’ and water in their mouth for longest?” “Who can suck a cup of jelly through a straw the fastest?” “Who can put on a frozen T-Shirt?” “Who can knock a loaded pantyhose of your opponents head using your own head pantyhose?” … and “Who can blow up a balloon until it bursts with a mouthful of weetbix.” There are some funny pics to come..

 Thanks to Marg for organising a fun night, and to Chez and Pete for being our fair judges.

Here are some snaphshots of the night:

Congratulations to team “Paige 214″ for winning the challenge!!
