The quiz at the Inn on the Quay went well, with more than £150 raised for Macmillan.
Controversy reared its head when the Marldon contingent won, having defied the rule about having no more than six on the team.
There were seven of them, bang to rights, but an unseemly row was avoided when they graciously handed their prize money back for the charity.
The Caerphilly Kid and I took care of the questions. Mrs H kept score.
There was no danger of over-imbibing with only Flowers IPA on offer. If ever a beer actively discouraged a hearty session, it's Flowers IPA.
The numbers were a bit down, though, with Elmer and his wife out hob-nobbing, Fangio and her husband living it up in Manchester, and Nanna going down with a last-minute migraine after the excitement of the rugby, which meant I had to expunge all the flatulence jokes from the questions.
Shame.
Gobblers Knob, by the way, was part of Question One. It's where Punxatawney Phil makes his appearance on Groundhog Day, and if you knew it was in Pennsylvania, you got two points.
