Social Events
In the past RAPS has put on occasional events such as Solent cruises to watch the Cowes Week Fireworks, theatre trips and Christmas parties. If you want to enjoy more of these, then RAPS needs someone to join the Committee as Social Secretary. If you think that may be you, do get in touch.
RAPS Quiz Nights
Former quizmaster Carl Inman ready to test 11 teams at the October 2024 quiz night at Botanical, a near record turnout.
Following the closure of Botanical in July 2025, the RAPS Committee has endeavoured to move the quiz nights elsewhere on the Boardwalk with a new quiz master but without success. A new quiz master who is willing and able to create the quiz as well as present it will be needed before a venue can be approached:
please contact the RAPS Chair if you are interested.
