The annual Charity Quiz will be held at Christ the King Parish Club on January 27th at 7.30pm.

Teams can have a maximum of four players and it will cost £7.50 per head, which includes a supper of scouse. There will also be the customary raffle.

Please contact Dave Cotson (davecotson@hotmail.com) to give him an idea of numbers, and to let him know if anybody would like the non-scouse supper alternative. This is always a very pleasant evening, with a superb quiz, and is a great opportunity to quiz socially and help raise money for charity.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Barbara Rouse, long-serving member and captain of Monstrous Regiment quiz team.  Barbara will be much missed by all who have enjoyed her company and contribution to the quiz league over the years.

This will be followed by her burial in the nearby woodland plot in Allerton Cemetery at 11.00 am and a gathering at Allerton Hall (The Pub in the Park - also L25 7UN) straight after at 11.30.
