I have been invited back to Plainmoor to help with the resurrection of Live @ Plainmoor which met with some success several years ago. The plan is to organise a variety of events including live music, quiz nights, sportsman’s dinners etc. in the hope of generating much needed funds for the Club.
Working within the limitations of the space available, I hope to be able to provide a variety of different events in an attempt to entice people to part with their money. Hopefully, there will be something for everyone over the next few months.
We kick off with an old favourite.....my interpretation of what constitutes a damn good Quiz Night. This particular quiz is on Friday 30th September starting at 7.00pm but doors open for food and drink from 6.00pm. There is sufficient space for 20 teams (each team is made up of 5 people) plus a few supporters and hangers-on. The cost is £8.00 per team, teams play for pride rather than rich rewards although there is a bottle of something wet for the winners. There is also the chance to win amazing prizes in the inevitable raffle.
I hope that if you live locally you will feel moved to attend some of these events. Failing that, please bring this to the attention of your friends and relatives.
Many thanks,
Andrew

We still have places for the Quiz Night on the 30th September to be held in No10’s Restaurant. If you like quizzing and helping the Club, this event is for you. If you can raise a team come along and test those little grey cells!
There is also going to be a “Fun & Games Night” on the 18th November, also in No 10’s. This will include a festive quiz plus my scripted version of the popular BBC panel game “Would I lie to you”. Kevin Nicholson is going to be one of the captains and we are in discussions about the make-up of the other panel members. Tickets are not available yet but will cost £10 and bar food can be purchased at a small additional cost. It should be another fun evening.

There are we still some places for the Quiz Night this Friday in No10’s Restaurant.Doors open at 6.30pm and the quiz will start about 7.00pm If you cannot raise 5 team members still come along and we can create a team(s)from any spare individuals. Alternatively,if you want to play alone that is also fine. Come and enjoy the quiz that the Eggheads were too scared to tackle!

This is a reminder about the “Fun & Games Night” on the 18th November, in No 10’s. It is a double header that includes a festive quiz plus my scripted version of the popular BBC panel game “Would I lie to you”. Kevin Nicholson is one of the captains with Tim Sills and Chris Todd in his team. Comedian Noel Brodie is the other captain with two other panel members yet to be confirmed, but hopefully also from a show business background. Tickets will cost £10 and bar food can be purchased at a small additional cost. It should be an interesting and fun evening.

Dear All,
Not the biggest story that is likely to happen this week, but I have been told by the Club that the “Fun & Games Evening” has been cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales. Maybe not surprising, and I am sure some will see it as symptomatic of the general malaise around Plainmoor at the moment. However, it is still disappointing as it would have been a fun evening with some old favourites from happier times with lots of very funny “true” stories to raise a smile in these dark times.
Anyway, all is not lost, The Wurzels are still booked for Friday 2nd December at Boots & Laces and it will be a very good evening’s entertainment if you fancy a good sing song and a few pints.

Thanks Andy for all your efforts in this but not exactly surprising as you say....

Thanks rjdgull, it's a shame as it would have been a very funny evening and great to see some old favourites.

Amidst all the excitement of last nights great win and the prospect of new owners, I just wanted to post a reminder that The Wurzels play Boots & Laces this Friday (2nd December). There will be some tickets on the door but to be safe ring 01803 313377 and secure your tickets.More tickets sold the bigger the contribution to the Players Fund. It will be a fun night plus plenty of cider and pasties.

Sounds good but Mrs is already out, leaving me with two 13 years old who probably won't want to come to this....
