The Elphin Lodge Hall was transformed into a hub of excitement and friendly competition on March 11 as residents gathered for an Easter-themed quiz night. The event, which saw the hall filled to capacity, proved that the spirit of community is alive and well at the village.
Organised by Elphino’s, the coffee shop at Elphin Lodge Retirement Village, the evening offered a perfect blend of mental stimulation and social connection.
Strategy and snacks
With teams ranging from four to six people, the competition was fierce but friendly across four rounds of challenging questions. For a ticket price of R90, participants enjoyed more than just a quiz; the evening included a full meal, with options including a classic chicken à la king and a popular snack basket featuring BBQ meatballs, chicken wings, and other savoury treats.
Creative flair on display
In keeping with the festive theme, many residents went the extra mile by participating in the Easter hat competition. The room was dotted with creative headwear, from subtle floral arrangements to bold displays of chicks and colourful eggs.
Wanda de Groot, the driving force behind Elphino’s, was thrilled with the turnout and the energy in the room. “It was heartwarming to see the hall so full of life. The event was filled with fun and laughter from start to finish.”
The evening concluded with the crowning of the winning tables and the much-anticipated hamper draw, leaving everyone looking forward to the next community gathering.
