Virtual Quiz

 

There is a quiz being hosted weekly, every Thursday at the same time on Zoom with the following link. https://zoom.us/j/267678492 and everyone is welcome to join them.

Their meeting link is a repeated event, so the link they have will be the same every week. It also means it’s easy to share if there’s anyone you would like to invite to take part.

Their meeting will be open from 7.30pm. The host asks that you please sign in by 7.45pm so team allocation can be done by the time the quiz is due to start at 8pm.

You can just click on the link on the night, there’s no need to reserve a space. If you have a family team then they ask that when you sign into Zoom for the quiz, you change your screen name to include your team name in brackets eg. ‘McGoverns (the winning team)’

Teams should be no larger than 8 people. If you haven’t got a team together, and want to just turn up on the night or want to be with a variety of people throughout the weeks, then just sign in as yourself with no team name and they will randomly assign you a team.

The quiz will be competitive and will be scored. They will do this by asking that one of your team collates your answers, and at various points throughout the quiz they will be asked to privately send them through the chat function on Zoom. An explanation will be given on the night for those who are unsure how to do this.

Random Cafe – Mini Market

Random Cafe are able to offer their mini market during the week for those who need it. They will be open on Tuesday, Thursday 10am – noon and Saturday from 10am to Noon and then 1pm till 3pm.

The times of the market will be dependent on supply and demand. They have been contacted this week by food outlets with requests for extra collections. They are now able to do these extra collections which will give them extra food to distribute to the local community.

They will put a selection of what is available that day on social media. All the produce will be split in half between the morning and afternoon sessions. This is to make it fair to all and to try and avoid large groups of people gathering.

If you know anyone who is unable to do food shopping, for any reason, and you are able to come along to pick up a food box, they will also have these available.

They will be on an order only basis, as they need time to box each one up. Please email www.randomcafewatford.com for more details or to order a box.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

They open as a Mini Market ONLY. They will NOT be serving lunch or drinks. Please only come if you need food. Please only bring ONE bag with you.

They are deliberately operating on a skeleton volunteer team and are taking every precaution to keep themselves safe. They need you to do the same:

Please be kind and considerate to each other. Please practice rigorous hand hygiene. Please make sure you stay a safe distance away from each other.

If you have any symptoms or feel unwell please stay at home. Please leave your children at home if you can.

If you have ANY doubts please stay at home.

 

The Shows Must Go On!

 

The YouTube channel The Shows Must Go On!, which has aired several free full-length recordings of shows and NBC live musicals, continues July 3rd with the Celtic Tiger, starring famed Irish dancer-choreographer Michael Flatley.

Flatley introduced Irish dance to the American mainstream back in the 90s with Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, both of which went on to tour the world. A few years later, Flatley returned in 2005 with Celtic Tiger, a show that explores the history of Ireland and the many moments of civil unrest that have led to various freedoms in the island nation.
