29th March Awayto the Nags Head


The Nag's Head is a lovely old pub that probably started  providing accommodation  for the drovers  who would bring cattle and sheep to the cattle market opposite. It has retained many original features and over the years was a gathering point for striking silk workers and is a regular gathering  point for bikers. The quiz team  are old friends and it is always a pleasure to meet them.



We did not have aa game last week, and once again Jack The Hat was playing to make up a team of four.

The questions had been set by Queens that were perhaps too sport-heavy (but the Nag's strong point) and the Lemmings frequently said why can't we get those. But no complaints, we were always going to get beaten despite a fine performance by Bob. We were sustained by Dizzy Blonde on top form.

 Individual scores were Bob 15/24 Sunil 12/3 Nick 3/12 with  conferred (Jack mainly) 14/17 and pass-overs 1/6.

A very pleasant evening controlled by Julian with a light touch and rounded off with a magnificent chillie with chips. Many thanks to he landlords, the team and Julian
