Quiz Night Update
A potentially chaotic evening, thanks to the mysterious disappearance of the Social Secretary and the apparently unrelated double-booking of the Secretary, was thankfully avoided as a roomful of quizzers had their grey cells exercised by urbane Quiz Master Martin Lusby. In the end it was “alright on the night”, as the “Moonies” resumed their winning…

Christmas Drinks – Thursday 19th December
The plaintive cry for Christmas drinks has gone out from the Fixtures Secretary eager to share his views on everyone and everything (he’s probably suffering from sledging withdrawal symptoms after missing the recent Curry Night).

2012 Annual Dinner
Annual Dinner In a welcome break with tradition, this year’s Annual Dinner was held in the same calendar year as the season itself. We were back once more in the convivial surroundings of Merchants in Warwick, although this time we had been bumped upstairs undoubtedly to the relief of the other paying customers. There was…
