    Hi all, would be great to meet you all there…I am in a team already and would love to see you there. It is a fun and varied quiz so you do not have to be a mastermind…book direct with Concorde and let them know how many in your team and a team name…and if any vegetarian options required (usually a stroganoff)

    Come on Janet too, you can do it…

    7.30 pm for an 8 pm start…food around 9 pm and finishes about 10.45pm…and a raffle too.

    I am not great at quizzes either – but sounds like it should be fun – put me down for it too.

    Looks like we’ve got enough for a team – me, Richard, Wendy, Janet (to be confirmed but she hasn’t come up with a good excuse not to yet). We can probably fill the other places too.

    I’ll book it up in the next couple of days. If anyone has a food preference, let me know otherwise it will be meat curry for everyone 🙂

    Janet’s excuses: 1) Janet’s wondering if she could cope with hunger between 7-9pm. 2) Social life during week day till 10.45? Unheard of these days.

    The last time I joined a quiz night, I only managed one question out of about 500 (it felt like 500 questions, or possibly 1,000). The memorable question was: What’s the place named Formosa? Of course I knew the answer, I spent 6 years there! The rest of the questions involve football (something like who replaced Alex Ferguson), golf, rugby TV dramas, celebrities, how river / train runs from A to B……) I almost felt asleep.

    To stand a chance of ‘winning’, we need to have people who are good at trivial, useless stuff. I have faith in Chippy.
