FEBRUARY MEETING - The Harrow Oad Street

Slap up dinner and a music quiz, courtesy of Chris and Ray

Well courtesy of Chris actually. Ray's sole input was to tell everyone where, when, what. Ray failed on all three counts and told everyone precisely the square root of fuck all. Cue rapid ring round at the last moment by Chris.

We all turned up at the appointed hour, miles from anywhere, on a dark and rainy night to be enthralled by a very hairy man and an amazingly complicated and difficult music quiz. A very good music quiz, it has to be said. Good if you had any knowledge of music. Not so good with a load of not just 'tone deaf' musical ignoramuses, but actually functionally deaf ignoramuses.

30 questions on close typed answer sheets, advanced audio questions played on a 1930's reel-to-reel tape recorder, and teams of four. It hardly behoves me to announce the winners, but here we go. ME!

Note the amazing winners cup! Note the amazing T shirts!

Chris (and Ray) had very cleverly come up with the wrinkle that you had to be wearing a rock concert T shirt to avoid a £5 fine. Everyone except the other organiser (Ray) managed.

Then the pub served the most amazing three course dinner since we last dined at La Gavroche. To be fair to them they were constrained by our budget, but they still pushed the boat out for GASS, proper pub grub. On the bright side they contributed to the GASS annual budget as the whole bang-shoot came in £280 under. a massive saving, and well done Chris (and Ray).

So a massive thank you to our quizmaster who did a cracking job, mainly in awarding first place to the best team at the table, good call!

He knew to thank 'The Father of GASS', mainly because Pete slipped him a tenner at the start.

NEXT MEETING - GASS TROPHIES. Bring out your trophies! Bring out your trophies! Yard of Ale, Throw Up Golf, JCB, Mannaquin Pisse, Golf Cup, The Big Turd, et al.....

You don't lose them, we all just want to see them, and re-award some.
