Quiz nights
The next quiz night will be Thursday April 3rd, subject to confirmation. This is because the quiz night on March 6th was the last under the current management at The Botanical. Between now and the end of this month RAPS will endeavour to ensure that quiz nights can continue this year in the present format.

Tipner West gone west...
