We had five rounds – Easy Openers, Geography, Science, Sport and Stumpers to finish the competition, and in between rounds we had a "Can You Recognise Your Fellow Petanque Players?" round (identifying members from cropped photos) and a Lyrical round, where the first line of a song was given and the name of the song and artist/band had to be identified. One of the songs in the Lyrical round was "You’ll Never Walk Alone" and, once it was identified, the whole room sang it all the way through, with lots of swaying hands in the air. Something to do with Liverpool Soccer Club?? Robert and Jacques got a drinks voucher for singing the rest of an identified song for us.![]()

During the night prizes were awarded for the "Can You Recognise Your Fellow Petanque Players?" round (The Pointers took out this prize) and the Lyrical round (won by Dream Team). It was The Invisibles who ended the night with the highest score (60 points), just two points ahead of Dream Team.![]()
