This will be a social event for all players, friends and family with a slight music/ double reed bias, though it will include general knowledge questions. Organise your team now! There will be an opportunity for the winning team to win a prize basket along with other prizes awarded for individual puzzles and questions.

Josie Hawkes is currently out of action and will shortly be having back surgery. We wish her well and hope that she makes good progress so that she and her husband Tom can host this event…..and so that she can regain her life!

We have yet to organise other events for 2020 so please let us know if you have any requests or suggestions of activities you would like to participate in
