Brain Of Borehamwood 2016

John Cartledge, Teddy, Simon Gee, Mayor Richard Butler

Museum Volunteer, Simon Gee, was presented with a pair of binoculars and the Brain Of Borehamwood Certificate by the Mayor for solving the most clues in the Teddy’s Trails quiz in the last Town Crier. The difficult and cryptic quiz was set by John Cartledge based round clues to be found in his descriptions of local people and places along the 18 Teddy’s Trails on the Town Council’s website.  These long walks, named after Teddy who has walked them all, involve a bus ride from the station and then a walk back into Borehamwood from every compass point. There are full descriptions of the history, architecture, and flora and fauna to be found on the way.  Although a recent resident of Borehamwood, Simon scored 8 and 2/3 out of ten, and says he learnt all the local history at the Museum!
