| The clubs annual quiz night was a massive success with lots of people involved. It was a close run quiz with the winners, and still the champions, 30 someting + 1, which included Tarps & Johnny Allen (again). They won with 83/100 beating the runners up, Old farts, Old tarts, & Nelmer who finished on 71/100. And for anyone thinking this was just a bit of fun, just try telling that to Nelmer! Just as passionate (and vocal) as when he's on the sideline! However, his rendition of 'I'll never fall in love again' by Burt Bacharach touched all of us and well worth the entrance fee itself. |
