POINTS TO NOTE:
Jamie and Steve Dodding are very kindly 'hosting us' once again and this includes an optional Friday night jaunt - 'Doggin with the Doddings', literally (see below). They are also organising Saturday night fun. The latter is a visit to a quality real ale house, followed by a curry in an excellent restaurant that, each time we've been in Peterborough, gives over its mezzanine area for our exclusive use (after the meal, the buzzers come out and we quiz till 1.00am).
FRIDAY DOGGIN
Meet at Peterborough Greyhound Stadium at 6.30 . Cost is £1 and includes either a basket meal or pint of beer. There will be a number of quizzes similar to last year - i.e. one in advance of each race. There's a £1 entry fee for each quiz, the winner gets first choice of a dog in the following canine event, the runner-up gets second choice, etc., for all six dogs in the race. The person with the winning dog in each race takes half the pool, second 30%, third 20%.
SATURDAY APRES QUIZ
Carousing at the Brewery Tap 6.30pm (earlier if you bale-out of the Hot 100!). Curry and quizzing at the Royal Spice at 8.15pm. Cost is £15 a head and covers starters and a main course buffet. As before the food will keep coming until everyone is sated. People buy their own drinks - ordered and paid for from your table.
Needless to say, this Saturday night, which includes hours of buzzer quiz, is a "must"!
SUNDAY
The 'Dr Who' Exhibition will be visiting the Peterborough Museum from 11.00am til 5.00pm Sunday.
