[Regimental Competition] Quiz Time: 1980s

[Corki]

I am bringing it back! Along with bragging rights through bagging your new Recruits, you will now be able to claim more bragging rights through winning the Regimental Competitions that run bi-monthly.

 

Since we are having a 1980s themed month in the Band music-wise, we shall be having a quiz based on the 1980s. If you want to blame anyone for this, blame Talya - it was her idea about mentioning a quiz.

 

Basically, every week (probably on a Sunday, though Jea, Horn and myself may post bonus sets during the week), I will post a series of questions relating to anything to do with the 1980s. It could be music, food, politics, or events. Across the whole world.

 

Each set of questions will have a deadline, which is when you must submit your answers to Corki. Please either email Corki at shen_an_calhar@hotmail.co.uk or PM Corki. Once you submit your answers, no changes can be made. Therefore, it is imperative that you are happy as a Regiment to submit your answers to me.

 

Raw Recruits can take part. Please note you will be on an individual basis. And the Recruit with the highest score at the end of February will get an extra point for promotion.

 

If you have any questions, please either post on the question thread (up shortly) or PM me.
