A massive shout-out to Bev and Ian for hosting a fantastic quiz last night!
They did an absolute stellar job keeping us entertained, challenged, and organised from start to finish.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the evening. It was brilliant to see such a great turnout, and the incredible atmosphere made the whole night a massive success. We couldn't have done it without your energy, laughs, and competitive spirit.

Cheers to the masterminds behind the questions, and to all the teams who made it a night to remember! 🍺✨
