I'm sure temperatures are rising as excitement levels build for our first Wednesday night quiz since August 11. You can reserve a table by phoning Clive and the dynamic team at The Barrel on 09 535 5540. We're serious quizzers but we're not that serious. We do enjoy having fun, and a singalong when it feels right. Remember, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game. So bring along your lockdown locks if you haven't been to the hairdresser yet, like me, or your smart new do, for our start at 8pm sharp. Looking forward to calling the quiz again. - PJ
