Verulam house big monthly quiz
Laughter filled the room as residents gathered for our monthly quiz, and what a fantastic afternoon it was!
Congratulations to Frank's team, who proudly claimed the title of quiz champions this month. 🏆 There was plenty of conferring, debating, second-guessing, and the occasional "I knew that one!" after the answer had already been revealed. 😄
Now, the big question… was the quiz too hard? Well, judging by some of the puzzled faces and creative answers, maybe just a little! 🤔😂 But that only made the victory even sweeter and the laughs even louder.
A wonderful time was had by all, and we're already looking forward to the next quiz challenge. Well done everyone for taking part and making it such a fun afternoon! 🎉👏

🎳 There was plenty of fun, laughter, and friendly competition at Verulam House today as residents enjoyed a game of bowls together. Everyone had a wonderful time taking their turn, showing off their aiming skills, and cheering each other on from the sidelines. It was lovely to see so much encouragement and teamwork, with every good shot met with smiles and applause.
Activities like these are a great way to keep active, socialise, and most importantly, have fun. A simple game of bowls brought everyone together and created lots of happy moments throughout the afternoon. Well done to everyone who took part! 😊💙
