Overall the night was a tremendous success and we raised over €2,300 in Aid of Crumlin Children's Hospital.
Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin is a National Referral Hospital for seriously ill children from every part of Ireland. It has the responsibility of providing the best possible treatment and care for each child.
To maintain the highest standards and to improve services, each year supplementary funding must be raised to purchase high-tech equipment and fund important research projects. Your support also helps in smaller but just as important ways. It allows for something as small as the purchase of a cake and to have a birthday party for children who may be in the hospital long term. It can pay for something as simple as a plug socket (for charging a mobile phone) in the local houses where parents of the children are staying overnight. It is your generous support that will contribute to these endeavours.
As it was with our Triathlon in Athlone you can be as prepared as possible with pens, answer sheets, post its for the table numbers, a wonderful Excel sheet (for team details, table numbers and scores) and backup copies of Questions and Answers; but its not until you jump into the freezing cold water of the Shannon River that you realise how deep it actually is.
After a slow/late start the quiz finally kicked into gear and we got through all 7 rounds in a relatively respectable time. The rounds contained 10 questions each and each round was a specialist round.
Round 1 - TV & Film
Round 2 - Sex and the City
Round 3 - General Knowledge
Round 4 - Lyrics and Music
Round 5 - The 90's
Round 6 - The Simpsons
Round 7 - Sport
Scoring wise 5 rounds came it at a relatively similar score with an Average Score of 7/10. Not surprisingly the Sex and the City Round and the Sport Round were the 2 lowest scored in with a average of 5.6 for SATC and 5.3 for Sport.
From the answers we received on a surprising number of sheets we believe that it is prudent that we clarify a few items.
John O'Brien did not/is not any of the following:
1. Shoot JR
2. Appear Topless in Sex and the City
3. Score the winning drop goal for either the Lions or South Africa
4. Cartman's Father
5. Gollum's Real Name
6. Weigh 13 tonnes, is 9 feet in diameter, and is named after Sir Benjamin Hall
(I took personal insult to this one LOL )
7. Mulder and Scully's supervisor
The raffle took place towards the end of the night and the results can be found here: http://3fatmenandalady.blogspot.com/2008/07/raffle-winners.html
Finally we would again like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone who attended the event and supported us in raising much needed funds for the Children's hospital. On behalf of everyone involved. THANK YOU.
