The Tony Littler Trophy Quiz will resume this year on Monday 20th September at its usual location – ‘The Calthorpe Arms’, Grays Inn Road, WC1 at 7.00 PM for a start at 7.30 PM sharp.

Campden Hill Branch the winners in 2019 will be setting the questions.

Adrian, the landlord, who will be leaving after 32 years before the end of the year, has informed us that he cannot do a buffet, but his regular evening meal service will be available to order at the bar on the night.

He would also like to know the approximate number of people who will attend. So please can you let Peter Chutter (Email: PCHUTTER.SPBW@YAHOO.COM) know by Tuesday 14^th September.

A reminder that maximum number per team is 5. If you wish to make up an SPBW branch team that would be good. If you come individually then you can join an Ad Hoc team formed on the night or join a team which is short of 5 people.

This is the first national SPBW event since Covid ‘lockdowns’, so we would urge you to make an effort to come if you can.
