Many thanks to Pam Farrell for being the Quizmaster in my absence due to an appointment I couldn’t change. There were 27 members attending. She did an excellent job especially as the tie breakers were very important in deciding the winning team.
The February Pub Quiz will be on the second Monday, 13th February, at 12 noon at The Nabb Inn. All are welcome – we prefer a maximum of four to a team where possible as we can always add another person to a team if you would like to attend but haven’t got a team of your own.
