just a question for someone out of the loop a little bit, why isn't / can't this be held at Hayden Road?

For the same reason we didn't use the Dog and Duck Bar when we were there - capacity. I'll double check with Glenis, but it was capacity as generally we had anywhere up to 20+ tables (and turning people away some months), hence we needed somewhere with a large enough space, and Glenis books the whole year in advance too generally (some months are quieter for holidays etc.) - hence why we publish well in advance so people get it in their diaries.

We'd always used Bowls Club until Covid - and they changed their policy for outside hiring. So the new venue was used (with an experiment at the Train Sheds too - which was too cold I think).

I think more than 80% of the Quiz attendees are not football club fans anyway, but this still generates good funds to the club, plus a good amount to Cransley Hospice too (we carry on the tradition of Ken Dobb's the original Quiz Master).

<BUMP> Quiz night tomorrow!
