February´s Quiz Night at Yew Tree Hall

On a wet and windy winter's evening 55 people enjoyed a lively, light hearted quiz and relaxed with a glass of wine or beer and a light snack. The quiz was stimulating, combining general knowledge with brain teasers and humour. Thanks to Steve Irlam for masterminding the questions, to members of the Hall Committee for organising the event and providing the refreshments, and to everyone who supported it so enthusiastically with generous purchase of raffle tickets. We made a little over £340 which will go towards maintenance of the Hall and some refurbishment following December's floods.

Popular feedback was 'When will you do this again?' Look out for announcements.
