We hold two pub evenings a month on the first and third Wednesdays, with all the other Wednesdays being Zoom pub evenings.

This means that tonight is a Zoom pub evening but incorporating a quiz.

Contact Roland in advance, preferably by e-mail, so that he can send you a link to click on at the start of the meeting. Please note the different arrangements for the first and third Wednesdays of the month.
