The mornings are dark, the wind doth blow, and days out to Paignton and Padstow, and Weymouth and Weston are getting scarcer and less attractive.  Hatches are being battened down, freezers filled and bank accounts emptied for presents as we steel ourselves for the Christmas onslaught of relatives and friends.

As in previous years, I'm planning an advent quiz here in the "lighter side" with a new thread and question launched every day.  I'm looking at this stage for guest quizmasters - members to take on a day (or perhaps a couple of days) - could be pictured to recognise, quiz question, anagrams, spot the difference - or your own idea(s).  I'll be available to host pictures, offer suggestion, etc, should you need that.

Let me know - personal message, here, some other way if you would like to take a day to two, roughly what you might do (so we can keep variety through the month) and if you have specific days you would like to have or avoid.
