👉Opportunity for you!
We have had people contact us keen to come to Friday's quiz night but who couldn't find enough people to enter a team. No worries we thought - let's find you some team members!

So far we have
* 1 couple
* 2 friends (women)
These people don't know each other but that's all the fun of it! Would you like to join them?

If you're friendly and happy to meet new people, enjoy a quiz night or just want to support a local charity and enjoy a great night out, then let us know!

We are looking for 2 more people for a full quiz team.

Just 2 sleeps to go until the Big Dress-Up Quiz night!
If you have a team but haven't registered yet, you better get on to it!
