Club Quiz Evening
An enjoyable quiz evening was held Thursday 14th March at the club. Four rounds of quiz questions interspersed with lasagne, salad and pudding. Winners were the Church Mice, led by Gabrielle. Not that their success was anything to do with questions about church buildings of course!
Grateful thanks to Fran Box for organising the evening, to Angela and Linda for the supper and to Anthony Bone for preparing the quiz and being an excellent quizmaster.
A few pictures of the evening.
