Pop Quiz Funraiser for Maggie's Centres

dccairns · Post by **dccairns** » 07 Sep 2005, 16:42

One of my friends is doing a walk at Macchu Pichu (please excuse the spelling if that's not correct) to raise funds for Maggie's. Our local celebrity pop quiz master, Tommy Nimmo, is doing a pop quiz fundraiser for her.

I realise that there is an unfortunate clash with the next POL social but if anyone is not going to that and would like tickets for the Pop Quiz, please see below for details of how to book.

MUSICAL QUIZ Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â NIGHT with prizes
Plus boogie-woogie Disco

Grab a few friends and book a team table on Friday, 23rd Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â September at the Roxy Art House(www.roxyarthouse.com) Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â

Tickets just Â£5 per person ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ all Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â proceeds to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres

Call Anne-Marie on 07989 Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â 513 594 to book

7.30 pm Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â (Quiz starts Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â 8.00pm) Bar closes Midnight.

See you there! Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â

We could do both?

I'm up for that Porty. After all, our Team have a reputation to uphold.

Well, it's for a good cause, isn't it?

Would other folks who said they'd come along to the Dalriada be up for this instead? I'm happy to go with the flow.

And the Boogie-woogie Disco will surely tempt Epykat and Porty to demonstrate their version of 'the bump'. You sexy things, you

I can't believe I'll be missing it....

What on earth could take precedence over a drunken disco with PoL peeps?

I realised that I have called this a "funraiser" in the title. Well, I suppose it's better than a hellraiser, although there might be a bit of that going on as well.

I have spoken to Tommy and, for those of you who went to the previous one, this will be a DIFFERENT quiz (not that I can remember all the things I didn't know before), so those who went to the other one will not be at an advantage - apart from your superior knowledge. In fact, Tommy says that this one will we just as easy(?!!!) as the other one.

Heck, I can't remember what I did know!!! And I was stone cold sober at the PCATS one

Seems like a good idea - at least there'll be a point to all the boozing!!

I think you can edit it.

Do you think Tommy would start it a bit later to accomodate the twin centre PoL night oot.?

Shouldn't you be consulting the others who have shown interest in the Dalriada night before making a decision on this.

A lot of folks might just prefer to stay local or be looking for a more low-key evening, especially if it's going to be their first meet up with other PoLers.

I'd rather assumed it would be one or the other - a night at the Dalriada or the funraiser-but I think we should stick to the Dalriada plan until we hear from other folks.

Do we need a vote?

I agree with you, first time POLers might find it a bit daunting their first meet a "wild" quiz night, I for one would rather stay local.

Sandra, I think you and young ecm are right now one thinks about it - meeting in a pub means people can come when it suits them AND can get away when it suits them because (a) they are scared

or (b) can only stay a wee while.

Anyway, is there enough time to get our visas for venturing out of Porty into the West Zone!?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 08 Sep 2005, 13:57

Should we stay or should we go?

I assumed Dalraida was defunetly happening. Simply trying to keep our options open. I hate missing out on a Pop Quiz.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 08 Sep 2005, 14:05

it is definitely happening

Think we've had quite a good response to the Dalriada night, with a few people saying they might pop in - don't think we'd get the same turn out for this and it would just be the same old gang going to it

Although no reason why anyone shouldn't pop along to this later (if they've still got the energy, or even the legs to stand on

)

I can boogie. But I need a certain song.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 08 Sep 2005, 19:28

Think I was not clear! Pub=Dalriada. The quiz thing would be too far for people to drop in. !

It's a pity this is on the same night.
