The big big quiz is happening in the Rock Bar on Friday 26th March, 9pm. Very modestly priced at E40 for a table of four.

If people cannot attend on the night, they can sponsor a table or a spot prize. All donations greatfully received.

Funds raised will be going towards purchase of a mower. I think it would be allot easier to volunteer for the quiz instead of having to

cut the grass weekly !!
