I’m hoping that’s helpful for quiz masters. out there.

But I’m going to confess to being nervous, at the minute.   Thursday is going to be Crunch time, and I’m quietly hoping for a nice big turnout.

I’d hate to get both quizzes cancelled.

 8•30pm, at the Hutton, just in case you didn’t know.

I’m also going to thank Jayde, and her partner, Stuart; – they did a lot of printing of flyers for me.   That enabled me me to spend a very productive hour in the high street, yesterday and today.   Hopefully, this town being the size it is, will get some bums on seats.
