Beachcombers Quiz Nights
Halloween quiz, St George’s Day quiz, and whatever else we can pin a theme to. Bring a team or get adopted by one on the night.
Quiz nights are the Beachcombers at our most competitive, and that includes the horticultural show. A themed quiz a few times a year, the Halloween Quiz and the St George’s Day Quiz being the regulars, held at the Swan Inn or over at Strangways Hall depending on the night.
Bring a team, or turn up on your own and get adopted by one. Rounds vary with the theme, the marking is always contested and never overturned, and there’s a raffle in the break. All proceeds go to local causes, as ever.

Always contested, never overturned. Rounds vary by theme, from Halloween to St George’s Day.
Where

A cosy get together at the Swan the day after Christmas, a good excuse to get out of the house, see everyone you missed over the holidays, and warm up by the fire.
New Year Party at the Swan Inn
Live music, fancy dress dancing, and a midnight countdown with your neighbours. The Beachcombers' way of seeing out the old year and welcoming the new one.
