Dunno SG - I steer clear of the quiz because I cant stand them and I think the quizmaster is a toal tosser. I havent heard anything about it but if I do I will be sure to post it or pm you the details mate.

I think the yellow one will indeed win Brian - [sanctimonious Bono/Geldorf bit coming up] but the real winners are the charities that receive donations

Duck off is 3.00 pm sharp at the stockbridge. The ducks go down the water with wardens in there making sure none get stuck and generally making a bit of a splash. Party in the bailie afterwards for the bairns with free food and disco and dancing and stuff. Bring your kid along dude I'm sure she will love it. Hope it doesnt rain as much as last year so if your coming fingers crossed.

What charities does it help Dub?

We have a charity game at harrison park every year and a raffle in the pub
which we donate to the sick kids. This years game is on the 21st of July if
you fancy a bevvy and a game to watch. The standards not very good but then
it is near gorgie. And it shows

But the guy that he brings in to run the quizzes when he's on holidays (and if he's running things like the Stockbridge Festival Quiz in multiple venues on the same night) is a great bloke! LOL

Harrison Park eh. I strutted my stuff on the playing fields of Harrison park way back when. Cant remember who I played for.

But anyway, back to matters in hand...the Duck Race helps Stockbridge House & The Sick Kids in equal measure - what with selling the ducks and taking round colection buckets we should raise around £3000+ to share between them.


I might take you up on that Brian but only as a spectator of course what time is kick off?

Am I to presume that other bloke is you?

[SG7nil]

Could be...

I have been known to run the odd quiz for Dave (actually over the years it's probably hundreds) including The Antiquary, the Baillie, The Watershed and the St Stephens ... to name but a few.

I kinda know where you're coming from in not being too fond of him tho' he can be hard work sometimes! LOL

Hoping to get down for duck off at 1500 hrs.

Unfortunately wont be able to partake in any liquid refreshment but duty calls and all that.

Dan asked us to come down and lend some moral support

Pencilled in for 2.00 pm. Always late though

I think we usually end up raising about £800-£1000, not too shabby for a single boozer.
