‘Quizmopolitan’, our annual quiz – February 2026

Graham and Alison returned to host another triumphant quiz to raise sponsorship for Vicky Chapman who is running the London Marathon in aid of the Brain Tumour Trust.  The fiendish questions seemed to present little difficulty for the winning team Communal Boilers who scored a full house, with the Hopefuls and Quizzy Rascals coming in close behind with joint second place.

“Another fun and informative quiz evening.  Who knew there were so many names for a brick!”
