Kew Club Quiz Evening
27th March 2009

The club fielded two teams and having strategically placed themselves next to the bar and the kitchen had a very enjoyable evening, Some questions were answered as well. Neither team won but they didn't come last either.
The quiz was won by the Kew Liberal Democrats. As one person shrewdly remarked "I suppose they have to be allowed to win something!"

Judges hard at work!
