All members are welcome to join in the fun.

Inspired by the British tradition, pub quizzes are a fun casual evening, including dinner and brain-cell-invigorating questions. There is no pressure; there are no charades, and no need to act or sing unless you want to. Come along and share your general knowledge on a mix of subjects and learn a few interesting facts at the same time.

Plan to bring yourself, and a guest to the club, with one iPad or laptop per team as your quiz master Jill Dodwell-Groves (member), will be holding the quiz, zooming in from Hong Kong. Enjoy a casual social evening of food, refreshment, and mental stimulation. Bring your own team of up to 5 people or join a team on the night. There are even modest prizes at the end of the evening.

Split pea & smoked ham hock soup

Baked fillet of Cod, Herb crust, crushed fingerling potatoes, spinach & parsley sauce,
