Pub quiz at the Hesketh Tavern on 20 January 2014

We had our January social last night and five of us (Sue, Andy, Tim O, Philippa and Daniel) went to the Hesketh Tavern in Cheadle Hulme for their Monday night pub quiz.  It's always very popular and last night was no exception with 31 teams (a record number) taking part which made for a good atmosphere.  We had been told to get there early (by 8pm) to bag a table and were glad we did.

The quiz had several rounds (Pictures, Puzzles, General Knowledge, Music, Wipeout) and within Puzzles there were several categories: Chart toppers, Catchphrase, Mystery year and Spellbound.
Midway through they served a "£1 supper" of chicken, ham & leek risotto - very good and an absolute bargain for the price.

We scored 70 points which was good enough for 11th place but a long way behind the winning 91 points.  All teams' scores were read out, in no particular order, and several team names made us smile, my favourite being "So many questions, so few answers."
