olivea Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 pity they don't have a category on dogs! there'd be loads of people who'd be great at that. I'm not bad on Film and TV (bit of a couch potato) and possibly food & drink but would be rubbish at everything else. Suppose the fairest way would depend on who was on the team and then choose the most central location. Why 5 people - I thought there was only 5 on a team?

Anne Grose Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I am assuming that they are going to play all 6 eggheads in the new series which is why they require 6 in a team. I would suggest Laura that you run this past the committee because they like to have control over this sort of thing but you would need to impress on them that they are recruiting now which means you basically have a very short time to get a team together and apply or you will miss the window of opportunity. I am pretty good at Food and Drink, Geography, Politics and Science but total rubbish at Film and TV, Music (unless classical) and Arts and Literature (again unless it is the classics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydford Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) What a fab idea Not sure how much use I would be..would be 50/50 on Art/Literature, Music, and TV...useless, useless, useless on Geography and Sport...but would be prepared to make a fool of myself for Oldies Club...if you are desperate to make up the numbers Edited October 7, 2009 by Lydford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_E Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm not bad on Film and TV (bit of a couch potato) Same reason that I'm quite good at this category I will email Amy and see what the committee think. Didn't realise when I first suggested it that it would be such a mad rush! At least there seems to be plenty of willing applicants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selina Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Go guys and girls, this would be brilliant, just a suggestion but why dont you apply in the normal way but also write and ask them if they would like to do a one off doggy special so there is a category on all things canine and with of course The Oldies Club being the opposing team, it would be good TV and publicity for them and of course good for the OC as well.

lil_angel Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Sorry forgot to reply to Laura's pm. Spoke with Fiona and we're happy for you to give it a good. Sounds like it would be a right life and if we can promote Oldies Club at same time all the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are 5 not 6 in a team by the way. Edited October 10, 2009 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Grose Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think there are 5 not 6 in a team by the way. Not for this series - they are looking for teams of 6 - so I guess all of the eggheads will be playing against you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishPastry Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Looks like need a team of 6 Im sure you can sort it amongst yourselves. as their seem to be a few more than 6 that want to do it i think the suggestion made earlier might be fair. that being we have a refuge quiz and pick the winners.

lil_angel Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Quite happy to knock up a quiz if interested people are happy with that. Will have to be timed so people dont have enough time to go off to google to get the answers as that would be pointless lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selina Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Maybe they say 6 to a team but one is a standby in case of illness Good Luck, will be keeping an eye on things and supporting you all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
