I had a complaint this week also that I didn’t share last weeks picture quiz on here like I usually do, I promise to do better in future 😂 the big question is can you do better than 70 points, which is the best our teams could manage on the night? Answers in the comments.

These picture quizzes are specially made by myself and are unique to our quiz nights, if you have any suggestions for subject matter going forwards don’t hesitate to ask.

Huge congrats to paulnshell who make it 2-in-2. They’ve played twice, won twice, can they do it all over again next week? Only one way to find out.

5 of our 8 teams were newcomers this week and were very impressive, although an honourable mention must go to one of our regulars who took on the quiz on his own and came third.
