Geoff Evans Quiz: The quiz was a huge success thanks to the efforts of Kevin, Anna Marie and the elves (pictured), the Social Committee and all the other helpers and providers of salads and cakes - many thanks to you all. As you can see the room was packed and that just happens to be the winning team in the foreground - I apologise for missing out one member of the team, I didn't kmow you were going to win when I took the photograph.

SCORING SYSTEM

We are using iBEscore, a phone/tablet based scoring app.

To download the app go to Applestore, Googleplay or your Appstore and search for iBEscore.

The interface is clear, colourful and very user friendly. Please download and explore the app.
