Sunday Pub Quiz!
Feb 24th, 2008 by Merlin
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, friends. It’s Sunday and we’re warming up our brains with a spot of brunch (served from 9 am to 2 pm).
It’s all in preparation for tonight’s Sunday Pub Quiz. Eat well, think well….
TRIVIA
The smallest cinema in Wales, once housed in an old railway carriage, has closed. How many seats did it have? The answer in a moment.
THE PUB QUIZ
Join us at 8 pm when our Welsh publican John Dingley leads you through 25 brainbusters during one of our most popular events. Teams of up to 4 are allowed. John calls out the questions, you write down the answers. In between, chat with those around you, harass Mr. Dingley, savor a pint of Smithwick’s or Guinness or Fuller’s.
And to set a bit of a soundtrack to the evening, yer man Sam Fiske will provide the music an hour before and 30 minutes after the quiz. It’s a little thing we call Sam’s Sandwich. It’s a tasty treat of jazz.

Hey Merlin - wanted to say thank you for having Tom Bradley singing sweet sounds to me on Sunday over a fantastic breakfast/brunch. Spending time with friends, reading the Sunday news, and listening to Tom is just what everyone needs to start the week. See you next week
