10 more sleeps!
Our June social gathering is The Big Dress-Up Quiz night on Friday June 5th. If you haven't already - please get some friends, colleagues or family to make up a team of 6, choose a team name and register for the quiz!

If you'd rather help on the night we need 1 or 2 to help to set up from 4.30 - 5.30, and pack up around 9.20ish, 1 or 2 more to help in the kithcen from 7.30 - 8.45ish, an extra marker from 5.30 - 9pm, and someone to make sandwiches (for any time before 8pm). Get in touch with Kate or message us here if you'd like to be involved.

Although it's optional, teams are invited to dress up as a quiz round (sports, food, literature, celebrities etc.). There will be a prize for the best dressed team. Last year we organised the Amazing Race and people did really well with team costumes so we can't wait to see what teams come up with for the quiz!

Here are a few Amazing Race team costumes from last year ... could be inspiration for you??
