A good pub quiz

Here are some pictures of the pub quiz we celebrated on December 17th in Nuba.

It was great fun.

The questions were challenging, the wine was good and the quizmaster, Melanie, did an excellent job with no microphone to help her.

Her strong voice comes from her experience at closing time in O’ Hare’s bar in Newcastle, where she worked as a student, telling the reluctant customers when it was time to go home.

The winning team scored 9 in the sports section thanks mostly to José Manuel and they also knew the first name of the jazz composer Thelonius Monk. They took home the English breakfast hamper.

The second prize, the box of shortbread went to Belly Dance Power and they answered some very tricky questions too.

Oliver was in good company as you can see!

So was Luis in the team that came third.More girls than guys at this pub quiz.They won a nice bottle of Gordon’s gin.

For a first time it went really well but I know people will be asking for quiz books for Christmas to be ready for the next one. Hopefully Food Hall will field a team too and come to enjoy a relaxing evening after a hard day’s work.

Nuba is a beautiful bar with friendly staff and the owners are charming.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and prosperous new year.

Un bonito día de campo

El domingo 22 se realizó la segunda actividad de la Asociación, que consistió en un par de sendas por el Valle de la Fuenfría (Cercedilla).
El día fué magnífico: soleado, temperatura muy agradable y sin lluvia ni nieve. ¿Que más se puede pedir?. Por otra parte, a pesar de lo avanzado del otoño, todavía los árboles conservan muchas hojas y el bosque resulta todo un espectáculo con sus tonos amarillos, ocres......

En total asistimos diez personas con muy variado nivel de inglés, de manera que se pudo hablar en los dos idiomas, en mi opinión de una manera natural, que era en cierto modo lo que se pretendía.

Con respecto a las sendas, creo que fueron acertadas. Desde la estación cogimos el Camino Puricelli hasta el Centro de Educación Ambiental, donde paramos a comer y disfrutar um poco del día y despues, bajamos por el Camino del Agua hasta Cercedilla pueblo.
