No more than five in a team.
I try to discourage the use of mobile phones in the Quiz but hey, I aint no schoolteacher so I'm not running around the bar confiscating them, so for those who might find the quiz a bit tough and a bit daft at times..... it has to be..... or else the cheatin' scum LOL will just google every question.
Music on the night is pretty random.
Anything from The Specials to Estelle, or say, even Hendrix to Portishead.
It's all pretty chilled out in The Linnet on a Wednesday.
Come try it out.
Cheers
