So, today seven of us, who have deep connections to Kapunda, visited the pub for lunch.

Here’s the answers to the quiz. The winner was Mrs. G. Cross of Gepps Cross.

1. Seven. Attendees were Crackshot, Swanny, Fats, Lukey, Woodsy, Stef, Mickey.
2. Yes, lunch began at 12.30.
3. No, incorrect. Everyone in attendance ordered a schnitzel.
4. False. Nobody ordered the Diane sauce.
5. No, incorrect. Everyone ordered salad with their meal despite the ‘no salad, extra chips option.’
6. True. Apparently, Fats ate most of his salad to the surprise of not just his lunchmates but all in the pub.
7. Three minutes. A new record time. That’s how long it took to disparage another Kapunda chap who wasn’t at the lunch but should have been. Sorry, Whitey.
8. Inexcusably home on his couch. See Question 7.
9. A goat. Lukey was elsewhere.
10. Four. The number of former and current Kapunda publicans mentioned over lunch. For bonus points in order these were: Nugget (Clare Castle Hotel), Puffa (Prince of Wales), Alan Meaney (Prince of Wales) and Unknown Queenslanders (Prince of Wales).
11. Four. Number of lunch attendees eager to play for Kapunda Cricket Club in the new year. This was announced after two beers and part way through the schnitzels.
12. One. Number of lunch attendees who will likely play for Kapunda Cricket Club in the new year (Woodsy: current A5’s captain).

14. Six. Number of second inning South African Test wickets to fall during our lunch.
15. One. Australian Test victories witnessed.
16. None. Number of D. Warner fans in attendance at lunch.
17. Three. Nostalgic and somewhat wistful mentions of cricket at Adelaide Oval during the 1980’s.
18. Eight.
19. One. Discussion of Greenock Schlungers (for those following at home this is the affectionate name for their local cricketers and not a German smallgood).
20. None. Bikies spotted. Whew. If you don’t count avid amateur motorcyclists Fats and Swanny.
21. 72.7 kilometres. Distance from Gepps Cross Alehouse to Kapunda.
22. One. Beers needed for trip from Gepps Cross Alehouse to Kapunda.
