Slaps St. Lucia Animal Protection Society

June saw another high turnout for the monthly SLAPS quiz at the Yacht Club. Thanks to everyone who attended; we are happy you had a good time. Best of all, we raised funds to help SLAPS continue its work. We no longer have a facility to house dogs but we are still paying for veterinary care plus feeding strays.

The opening round was about birds. Sample question: Which species of bird can fly backwards? (See below for the answer.)

We then devoted a round to countries that have experienced a name change, for example: Give the immediate former name of Sri Lanka.

The round on the Caribbean included unusual questions such as: Which celebrity founded a rehab centre in Antigua?

Our final text round was on origins. Sample: In which country was the Hawaiian pizza invented?

Congratulations to the winning team, ‘Who Are We? 2’. They were delighted to each receive the prize of a bottle of wine, kindly donated by The Marketplace in Rodney Bay Marina.

We thank quizmaster Vince for delivering the questions, answers and scores. We are grateful to Impy and staff at the Yacht Club for attending to the food and drinks orders. Many thanks to the SLAPS volunteers who worked hard preparing the quiz, and on the night.

The answers to the questions above are:
1. Hummingbird
2. ⁠Ceylon
3. ⁠Eric Clapton
4. ⁠Canada

The next quiz will be on Tuesday 7th July. The quiz is a popular event so please book your table several days in advance by contacting Impy on 714 4824. Please also bring pens to fill in the answer sheets, and come prepared with a team name.

SLAPS thanks everyone who supports the monthly quiz. We are especially grateful to the snowbirds who pay the entrance fee even though they are not on-island.

See you on 7th July!

Quizzlers! It is your time to shine!

Save the date: May 12th!!!
