Friday 15th November  8pm

Yes, its back. Get ready for an evening packed with trivia, fun and friendly competition!  Test your knowledge on a broad range of topics –  from current events and TV, to history and everything in between. We always start with a picture quiz.  Enjoy a night head scratching, frustration, joy and  groaning out loud!

Our quizzes are informal but competitive! We are returning to one of our favourite venues, The Brunswick Hotel (199 Malmesbury Park Road, BH8 8PX)  Please help planning by reserving your tickets via Eventbrite. As ever you pay on the night, but we need to ensure we don’t exceed the room limit. Teams of up to 6, entrance £5 a person. If you aren’t in a team they can be adjusted/formed on the night to ensure no one’s on their own. As ever we will have a raffle (prize donations very welcome).

Jamnesty

This was a great success. It rained all afternoon, which curtailed outdoor performances, but didn’t dampen spirits. We raised over £1300. This couldn’t have happened without the generous support of all the musicians, poets, cake makers as well as raffle prize donators.
Special thanks are due to Nick Humphrey, Conrad Barr and the owner Harry Secombe, who made Chaplin’s and the Cellar Bar available, and to their lovely staff who couldn’t have been more helpful.
And thanks to everyone who came to the event and supported us. You can find more photos on our website.

South America Newsletter

The latest South America Newsletter has updates on Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Peru. In 2023 Colombia was the most dangerous country in the world for land and environmental defenders with 79 murdered. Amnesty has issued a new Urgent Action demanding those currently threatening and harassing Jani Silva to be brought to justice. Jani and her association ADISPA have protection measures in place, provided by the government’s National Protection Unit. But she has received another death threat. There is a link to the letter we used at our group meeting on the webpage, or download it here.
