To help us look back on an action-packed 2010, we shall be running a Bumper Quiz of 2010, spread out over the next five days.
Each day, ten new questions will appear, all relating to events which took place locally during the past twelve months. All the answers can be found in our blog archives.
If you know any of the answers, please leave them in the comments box. After all fifty questions have been posted, the lucky reader who has supplied the most correct answers will win a year’s free subscription to PARWICH.ORG!
Our first set of questions cover events that happened between January and April. Happy guessing!
1. “The sunlight had long passed by the time Annie drove into the picturesque Derbyshire village.” These words appeared on PARWICH.ORG on January 17th, but what were they?
2. Which special service took place at St. Peter’s church on the evening of Wednesday January 27th?
3. Another Parwich website launched in early February. Whose website is it?
4. The A52s played their first Parwich gig of 2010 on Saturday February 27th. At which venue did the gig take place?
5. What series of events took place during February and March, at Church Farm, Rock House, Orchard Farm, Townhead and the Vicarage?
6. Which international web service captured this unsuspecting Parwich resident?
7. A rare song thrush was “discovered” in Parwich on April 1st. What unique skill did it possess?
8. Where could you enjoy tea and cakes on Easter Monday?
9. Which Parwich couple celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary in April?
10. Whose delightful daffodils were featured in The Stunner?
I think the answer to Q6 is Google Streetview but it seems
to have stopped snowing on him since yesterday. Maybe the weathers
taking a turn for the better at last.
Oh my goodness, we finally have an answer! 🙂 That’s correct, Cheryl – it was indeed Google Street View.
Ok – I know we have a Blog Team member in the family, but can’t resist having a go…collective family effort here:
Q1 – Was this the opening line to literary masterpiece Parwich Heights?
Q2 – Inauguration of new vicar Andy Larkin?
Q4 – Oooh, think we know this one! Was it in the mighty venue known as Parwich Legion?
Q5 – Sue says ‘Lent Lunches’?
Q7 – Opera singing! But don’t know which opera. Suspect Puccini?
Q8 – Alsop en le Dale Church.
Q10 – Delightful daffs from Dorothy L!
Hope we win the subscription!
A late entry! This has made my day!
All these answers are correct, although the rare thrush sang Mozart rather than
Puccini.
Nevertheless, this puts the Hughes family in first line for that coveted free subscription to PARWICH.ORG. (Boo, fix, inside job, I hear you cry? I deny everything!)
