Not the European Song Contest Quiz Night
We are delighted to be able to confirm our now annual 'Not the Eurovision Song Contest' Quiz Night will take place this year on Saturday 14 May at 7.00pm for a 7.15pm start at Linton Free Church Hall. Everyone is very welcome. Friends, neighbours, acquaintances and any other category of person that you might create are all invited.
It remains the remarkably unreasonably good value of £5.00 per person including a Fish & Chips supper (or sausage or veggie burger as an alternative) provided by our friends at the Sawston Fish & Chip emporium.
Please let Steve Munday know (either by emailing Munday5@aol.com or seeing him in person on a forthcoming Sunday) if you are coming, how many places you want to reserve and what food you want.
