Pub Quiz Help, things you really need to know
Presenting the Pub Quiz
Here's a check list of things to remember before you actually start the pub quiz night.
1. Have you printed enough handout sheets? It's impossible to say how many teams you will get at first but after a few weeks you will start to have a good idea. If you have 15 tables in the room then print 15 hand out sheets, I call them quiz sheets, they're the ones that the teams write their names on and write their answers on.
2. Quiz picture round handout sheets. If you've got 15 teams then print 22 quiz picture rounds. If you have a quiz team of 4-6 players then they should be given 2 quiz picture rounds. It's not nice for half the team to be looking at a quiz picture round upside down. You will also get quiz teams of 2 which means you don't need to print double the amount of quiz picture rounds as there are quiz teams. if you need picture rounds download them here http://www.pub-quiz.net/pub-quiz-picture-round.htm
3. Do you have enough pens and do they all work? Might seem petty but the little things are important, I check my pens before I leave home, it only takes a minute. Attention to detail makes for a smooth professional pub quiz night.
4. Is the pub quiz night well advertised? It should be advertised outside on a chalk board at least a week before the quiz night and there should be well placed A4 posters inside too. A very good place to put the posters are in the toilets, probably the best place of all. Make sure you have the prizes on the posters too.
If you need posters for your pub quiz take a look at my quiz pack page http://www.pub-quiz.net/pub-quizzes.htm
5. You need to lay down the rules very clearly at the start of the pub quiz.
Here is what I always say:
"Please do not shout the answers out" Also be aware that people may arrive after you have started the pub quiz and they won't have heard the rules. It is vital that you tell all late arrivals that they must not shout the answers out. And I mean ALL people that arrive late even if it means you have to say it 10 times, trust me, it is worth the effort. People constantly shouting out the answers will destroy your pub quiz.
"Spelling doesn't matter unless it's a spelling question" This is supposed to be a fun quiz night and who cares if people can't spell. As long as the answer looks right they get the point as far as I'm concerned.
"Only write down one answer to each quiz question, unless I ask for more. If you write down more than one answer then we will not know how to mark it and you will get no points." People try to cheat this way, or they didn't listen to you so they don't deserve to win anyway, which they probably won't.
"NO using your mobile phones to Google or Wiki the answers, anyway it would probably cost you more to do this than the prize is worth, also if anyone catches you cheating you lose 10 points." Do look out for people cheating with their mobiles, I've seen it a lot lately, mainly by the teenagers.
"You can use the back of your quiz sheet all you want. To make notes of questions you may be stuck on or for any working out." Sometimes I actually recommend they turn their quiz sheet over and write down part of a question I'm about to read out. For example "which word can go before fall, closet and works to make 3 new words?"
"We will have a short break after each quiz round so you can get a drink at the bar, go to the toilet or go outside for a cigarette, or all 3!" Absolutely vital this one. It's good for business, after all the pub needs to sell beer and the smokers need to be kept happy too.
If you need any ideas for your quiz then you can find lots of fresh and new ideas here http://www.pub-quiz.net/quiz-ideas.htm
I hope you find this information helpful, look out for my next article coming soon.
Bye bye for now.

Christmas Face Painting Stencil Tips
As Christmas approaches, face painters everywhere are preparing to show off to the world their very own special creations. For the amateur painter, however, that first face painting party can be scary. While you gain in confidence painting free hand, a popular option is to use stencils. For any beginner, it’s best to keep things simple. Doing cheek painting or using stencils is an ideal starting point. If you are thinking of trying out stencils, then the following tips may be useful.
YOU WILL NEED:
A craft or an Exacto Knife.
Stencil paint brushes.
A piece of stiff plastic or acetate. Using see-through would be an advantage.
Your stencil design. If you’re artistic, you can draw your own or download one and remember to offer various sizes for each design.
You will need a hard surface to cut the stencil out on; a cutting board would be ideal.
Low-tack Tape.
(1) - Tape down your stencil securely on the edges to the acetate and with your sharp craft knife carefully cut out your stencil along the edges. Use your free hand to help hold the stencil in place.
(2) - Once your stencil is cut out, smooth out any untidy or rough edges as they will affect the finished look of your design.
(3) - Make sure you use the correct painting brush for use with stencils, usually round with short stiff bristles.
(4) - It’s always best to work from the outside in. If you are comfortable using sponges, these work well on stencils, too. Try not to overload either with paint and use quick up and down movements with the brush. This will help prevent paint seeping under the stencil edges. Use the fingers of your free hand to hold down the small parts of the stencil while you apply the paint.
(5) - Patience is a virtue. Remember your finished creation will look best if you do a couple of thin coats. Always make sure the first layer is dry before applying the second.
(7) - As it’s Christmas, you cannot go wrong with some festive stencil designs like a Christmas star, snowflakes (even I remember folding up paper and cutting all different bits out to make snowflake patterns), Christmas trees, Santa face and snowmen.
(8) - Practice, practice and more practice, but, more importantly, it is Christmas so have lots of fun and don’t worry if you make any mistakes. Highlight your designs with some white or shading, add a touch of glitter and you will be amazed how a simple design can suddenly be transformed.

Discover the Serious Side of Promoting with Fun Inflatable Parade Balloons
Parades have always been one of the best ways to generate excitement. Usually centered on a holiday such as Veteran's Day, July 4th or Thanksgiving, this fun gathering of the masses is a tradition that goes back well over a century. But savvy business owners and organization managers will take note of one fact: A parade equates to a captive audience. And don't we all just love a captive audience?!
3 Important Strategies for Making the Most of Parade Exposure
Can you imagine anything better than for an entire city or town to line the streets just waiting for you to pass by? But your moment in the sun is short lived, so you'll want every second of your time spent strolling down the street to count. Allow me to offer a few tips for making the most of your parade floats and the event as a whole.
#1 - Create Eye-Popping Parade Floats
This is what everyone has come to see, so you don't want to skimp on your presentation. Whether you go for parade floats on wheels or inflatable parade balloons that soar overhead, you'll want to use big sizes, bright colors and eye-popping designs, so you immediately hook each person's attention as you pass by. Company mascots make for excellent parade balloons as do inflatable costumes and product replicas.
#2 - Bring Giveaways
Most parades these days won't allow you to toss candy or other goodies from your parade floats due to safety concerns. However, you can still walk over to the crowd and hand out giveaways. Come prepared and be creative. You'll want something fun that is well branded. This is a parade after all, not a networking dinner. Inflatable product miniatures, balls, key chains and more are very likely to be kept and used which means your organization's name stays in front of the customer longer.
#3 - Drive People to Your Business
The most successful marketing campaigns are circular in nature. This means they bring the customer 360 degrees. Promote your appearance on your website, in your TV and radio spots and in your print marketing. Then, as your parade balloon travels down the route, hand out giveaways. But don't stop there. Attached to your giveaway, include an offer for a discount, a free upgrade, x% off a membership or some other incentive for the parade watcher to come back to your business. Now that's smart marketing!
Start planning now. Holiday parades occur about every three months or so. There are also high school and college homecoming parades, military parades and others. Each will require you to have a parade float or balloon to participate. Choose an event that most closely aligns with your target customer and you're sure to have a blast while drumming up some business.
