The Wharf is one of the excellent real ale pubs that have opened in town in the past couple of years – not only does the pub have a fine selection of beers from micro-breweries but it also has a fine reputation as a music venue. It was great to see Thornbridge Wild Swan beer 
available – at 3.5% it has an amazing explosive taste, dry and hoppy - an excellent session beer.
The quiz team we have known for some years and enjoyed many laughs with them and this was no exception. But we were without our mascot and our sole supporter was listening to his headphones. Understandably as this was not one of the Lemmings’ finest performances. The questions were fine with nothing qualifying for the Nine-Banded Armadillo award but as usual all questions are easy – if you know the answers. The Lemmings struggled through the specialist rounds at the end trailing by 3 points at 45 to 48. In the General Knowledge 
they did rather better but it should be mentioned that a record score was broken – Nick’s PW!! His worst score ever finishing with just six points over both sets of questions. His worst score not just for this season but for years!! Can’t blame it on the White Swan at 3.5%!!!.General Knowledge scores were 73 to 58 giving a final score of 118 to 106
Individual scores were Bob 9/15, Wendy 6/15, Nick 3/3, Tomo 12/18 and conferred points 8/14 with 7/8 pass-overs. The home team collected 5/6 pass-overs.

A night of "hard but fair" questions, GK especially. One ended up stuck in the teens, not helped by failing to watch I'm a Celeb, not remembering the anguished pains of Jeff Stelling as Hartlepool slip further into the mire and conferring nervously on a picture that could only possibly have been Eddy Murphy - so it wasn't all difficult and I was not alone in authoring my own misfortune. However, certainly in planet B league, such scores were fairly typical and the 27 scored by one of our opponents was the equivalent of a crucial 65 not out on a last-day subcontinental turner; it will blend anonymously into the end of season data, but was a true match-winner. How the Nags Head summoned up a score in the 160s remains a mystery, inducing bafflement last seen on each of eight faces when Wishbone Ash was cited as an answer with somewhat armadillo-like qualities.
