FORMAT OF EVENING
The quiz evening, our tenth, will follow the usual format;
multi-media quiz, bread, cheese, wine, Loose Cannon beer (+
bottles of fizz this year), and raffle.
We are now able to take payment for the beer and additional bottles of wine
with a credit card.
Our thanks go to Majestic Wine and Loose Cannon for their support this year.

Our surplus last year was £1,600, a sum we would like to better so we can continue to support the many deserving local youth and international charities who look to Rotary for help.
