Pub quiz at The Hesketh, Cheadle Hulme on Monday 4th September 2017

Tonight was our second social of the year and saw us return to the newly refurbished Hesketh in Cheadle Hulme for a meal, drinks and their excellent Monday night pub quiz.

15 of us gathered for the evening's entertainment - some at 8pm for a pre-quiz meal and others at 9.  The £8 carvery was delicious and superb value.  Not-seen-very-often attendees included Charlie Spiller (tonight coincided with a trip home from the Lakes), Liz Walley and Nick Hill.  It was excellent to have time during the meal and in between quiz rounds to catch up with people's news and hear about the recent High Wray weekend.

We split ourselves into two teams - nine became 'The Volunteers' and six were 'Table 59'.  The quiz followed the usual format: people/Dingbats/anagrams; general knowledge/current affairs; pop music; Wipeout.  Both teams acquitted themselves well, scoring 77 and 75 points respectively.  I forget the winning score but 77 points was joint 5th and 3rd scored 80.

The biggest turnout ever for a social?

Thank you to Sue and Denise for organising the evening and for everyone for coming along.
