Club Social: pictures and quiz answers

The very enjoyable Golf Croquet social managed by Cathy Turski included a quiz, with players' names as answers, which are given below.  Christine Edwards also provided a quiz: watch this space for the results of that.  Many thanks to Michael and Irmgard Finnigan for the Barbecue, and to Linda Death for the photo.  Earlier in the day, Justine Snieder took shots of the players, which are available via this link.
