National quiz comes to Cotham (almost)

One of my big hobbies is doing quizzes. Aside from my regular Monday night fixture at the Kingsdown Vaults, I also participate in a rolling national tournament operated by the British Quiz Association which visits a different location around the UK each month.

I am pleased to say that I have arranged for the February event to be held at Cotham Parish Church Hall (which, for pedants like Councillors Wright and Woodman, is just over the road in Cabot Ward). It is on Saturday 5th February. It is an open event and all quiz enthusiasts are most welcome - the cost for newcomers is £10, which covers an individual quiz in the morning, a randomly allocated team event in the afternoon and some informal quizzes in the evening, plus some lunch. The standard is pretty high and you'll be pitting your wits against people like Kevin Ashman and Pat Gibson from TV's Eggheads - needless to say, I don't come close to winning!

If you fancy coming along, you'll need to book in advance as numbers are limited to around 60. Drop the organisers a line at quizzes@quizzing.co.uk or via their Facebook page.
