For anyone who wants a spin from Cork, I'll be leaving my place near Fermoy at 10am to be up at the Clonsilla Inn by 12.30.

The quiz is all set. Yours truly has set the questions.

Expect a few Mini-related questions, topical stuff, music etc, and a few sneaky ones.

We have loads of spot prizes so it should be a bit of fun for Sunday afternoon.

See you there,

Billy

Hope to see as many of ye tomorrow as possible.Billy tells me that he has already been contacted by some of the more competitive members for a look at the question sheet but that the brown envelopes,although greatly received,will make no difference and Brinks will deliver the sheets directly to the Clonsilla Inn to eliminate any insider knowledge. :D

My voice has dropped an octave after yesterday. Ye're a rowdy bunch.

There was a brilliant turnout of 11 tables at the quiz which meant over 40 people took part. No doubt there could have been more but the Western Region lads were busy in Longford at the autotest. I was very impressed that most of ye knew all 4 Teletubbies and Tina Turner's real name.

Thanks to the Clonsilla Inn for the great grub and the use of the upstairs function room, KMG for organising the prizes and the raffle, Daisy for collecting the sheets, Neil and Kieran for selling the tickets, and all the smallies who drew the raffle tickets.

And the winners were ...................Team Twinjocks Spi of Paul, Julie, Milton, and Therese. They were closely followed (but not close enough) by Team MCOI who came second best but shur that was no surprise. The MCOI team took fierce slagging but it was all good fun.

Thanks to all that supported the quiz.
