Get your tickets now for the Spring Pub Quiz on Thursday March 6th before they are all gone. There are only 60 tickets available. The aim is to have 10 teams of 6 people in each. The price for the quiz (and the excellent food) is only $15 per person.

March is the month in which Spring begins (Hooray!). The Quiz will be a General Knowledge Quiz but with a flavour of Spring about it. It is not a quiz though which is all about Spring (or even Wales). There will be general knowledge questions on (to name but a few topics) art, music, science, history and geography. Also, given the current “suggestions” coming up from South of the border, there will be a focus on Canada, "our home and native land - the true north strong and free”.

🎟 Tickets are $15, which includes:

✅ Entry to the quiz - doors open at 6pm, quiz starts promptly at 6:30pm
✅ A hearty bowl of meat chili or veggie option and the fixings
✅ Plenty of fun and friendly rivalry!

Gather a team of 6 or simply register and we’ll add you to a table as soon as possible—before the tickets disappear and you miss your chance to put your knowledge to the test!
