On Friday 27th April 2012, Bonapartes Bar on Platform 3 Bristol Temple Meads are holding a charity quiz and raffle.
According to the flyers I've seen in said pub, the quiz and raffle is between 1900-2000.
^1 entry per person for the quiz with proceeds from that and the raffle going to the Railway Children charity. Raffle prizes donated by local breweries and businesses. Cash prize for the winning quiz team.
So, to that end, myself and the Mod/Admin team feel this would be an appropriate opportunity to arrange a forum meet-up.
If you're free that evening come along for the quiz, a drink or two and the chance to meet fellow Coffee Shop members.
I appreciate this is relatively short notice, but if you are in the Bristol area, or can get there for 1900, then why not pop along?
This forum is not affiliated to this charity event. I just thought it was an ideal opportunity to arrange an ad-hoc meet-up.
If you're interested, do say so on this thread.
Justin.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Don't have to be pretty to win!
Oh, and if it wasn't for me confusing Gavin Hastings with Gavin Henson we'd've got a perfect score on the General Knowledge.....

Ah, brief encounter!* I've just read this, and realised it was last night. Better luck next time.
