EVENT REPORT - JETAA & AJS-Q Online Quiz Night - via Zoom
Thursday 17 September
Members and friends of the AJS-Q and JETAA enjoyed participating in our first Online Quiz Night.
|
|
Through the wonders of technology, attendees were able to move seamlessly between the entire group and their own team.
|
The questions ranged from the political (the home prefecture of the new Prime Minister) to the cultural (the name of the BOY BAND which most recently topped the charts) to the truly obscure (the depth of the hole dug by the winner of the 2020 Japan National Hole Digging Competition).
Our thanks to the organisers, our friends at JETAA, and especially to the quizmasters, Keith and Ken Parker.
