QUIZ NIGHT
With Quiz questions on Flowers, Fives, Firsts, Films and February it was perhaps a surprise that we didn't have a Five Way tie for the winners. '3 Is The Magic Number' won after a tiebreak as they knew the total mileage of the M25. Better luck next time to those who made it to the medal podium, and all those who took part.
