To: David Grimes <david.grimes2@mail.dcu.ie>

I'll knock out 11 sports questions tonight if you want...
 
I'd say stick with reliable prizes, i.e. MP3 Players...DVD Players...DVD and Telly Combo as a top prize? I'd say LIDL/ALDI would do a nice price for these type things??
 
How bout bottles of wine as spot prizes...Relax for the rest of the evening or get pissed...Preferably white as it's more of a "let's get pissed" option. Good idea Shelly- I'd say we can take you up on the offer of those bottles...
 
Lynx would be great for spots...those male and female grooming packs...fingers crossed they'll help us out.
 
Can we spare DCU DRAMA hoodies as spot prizes...i.e. getting rid of the big sizes we have left or is this a big financial disaster...Shane?
 
Howz about we have a slave auction in the middle of the quiz...auction off a couple of the committee or enthusiastic members...can we get money this way?
 
Bonus questions: DCU DRAMA questions...but funny ones? Henceforth and anon ones...The catchphrase of that one from UCD at the ISDA's last year...Why is Lennox called Lennox? Where is Taryn? Stuff like that...
 
Also, for more spots, how 'bout we get randomers to come up and do impressions of committee members or actors or actresses...acting out scenes from their famous films, etc...
 
Should the final round be a "so easy, it's ridiculous" round a la Astro Soc's quiz? They had questions like...  What colour is the breast of a blue tit?
Yellow, etc...How bout something like that...?
 
Also, I am about to type out the announce-drama mail.
 
Dave, you get in touch with DLI about the workshops for this week? 
 
Eoin.
