Our weekly quiz is proving popular. Thanks to all those who have tried the food & drink quiz – 26 entries so far. This will remain open until mid-night Friday if you want to enter for the first time or have another try to improve your score.

Just go to the club website and click on Competition on the main menu. You can enter on your home pc, tablet or smartphone. Do remember to enter your name at the beginning of the quiz.

We plan to keep a quiz going for the next few weeks and try to vary the theme.

One future possibility is photos of members that are not easily recognised e.g. as children or teenagers. If you have something suitable can you please scan it in or capture the image on your smartphone and send to Steve Whiting at s.whiting40@ntlworld.com
