Generally, the contest is between around eight teams of three or four people. Members and their guests can enter their team in advance, or they are welcome to turn up on the night and participate in what is always very enjoyable evening. Quizmaster, as always, will be Keith Crawshaw, and a light supper will be provided during the interval.

GOLF

The 2012 Gothard Cup Golf Competition will take place on Friday, 29th June at Woodsome Hall Golf Club. Further details from Simon Russell.

Annual Dinner
This year’s Fred Hudson Centenary Dinner will be held on Saturday, 24th November 2012. Full details, together with an application form for tickets, will appear in the next issue of The Almondburian. This will be a very special event marking the centenary of the birth of former Second Master and Head of Geography Fred Hudson. Special guests will include Fred ’s daughter Ann Walker and other speakers with appreciative memories of one of the School ’s finest teachers.
It is always good to see members making a special effort to stage a re-union of their year at the dinner and such occasions are always enjoyable, so those with a special anniversary this year, members of the classes of 1942, 1952, 1962, 1972, 1982, 1987, 1992 or 2002 for example or, indeed, anyone else who takes a notion to do so, should consider starting to organise their class re-union earlier rather than later.

Founders’ Day
The Traditional Founders’ Day Service will be held the day after the Annual Dinner, Sunday, 25th November, as usual. Full details will be announced later in the year.
