I believe that other villages might with advantage follow the
example of ours, which recently, in order to raise money for its Coronation fund, organised a quiz about itself. All the questions, some of which- were sent in by the inhabitants and the others concocted in great secrecy by the organisers, were about local matters—historical, geographical, ornithological and so on; they were answered, with remarkable accuracy, by two teams drawn respectively from north and south of the High/ Street. A eiarge audience thoroughly enjoyed itself, learned many curious things about the place in which most of it lived and-swelled the Coronation coffers by £20. A point in favour 'of this form of entertainment -is, as one of its more cynical organisers pointed out, that you cannot be expected to get up another one until the, lapse of several decades has produced an adequate supply of questions which were not asked last time.
