Who fancies a pub quiz??

There's one every Tuesday night here in JRs in Rangiora and its a real good laugh with $60 vouchers for first prize and others for second, third and fourth. Numbers have been dwindling over the last few months and there was only us and another team (also Poms) yesterday.

I hope this isn't classed as an advert as I have no financial incentive - in fact quite the opposite as more teams would reduce our chances of winning the prizes! Just more teams would make it a bit more entertaining. Starts at 7.30 every Tuesday.......any questions???????

Pub quizzes are great fun but be aware that they ask soooo many Kiwi questions that us new immigrants struggle with!! Make sure you have a couple of friendly Natives in your team if you want to stand a chance

have feeling of deja vue! am sure you posted same last year and we still haven't made it to one

Is that really all thats in JRs on a Tuesday night - a handful of poms?

How many are required in a team? Is there an entry fee? Are there categories, like sport, entertainment, natural world or just all general knowledge?

Yea we talked about it,maybe time we got down there Mandy?

Woodlea

Not this one, he gets the questions off a British web site so the questions are all pommy, guess that's why not many Kiwis go!!

Ha ha - yes probably about this time last year! Yep Tuesday night is dead in JRs, there's never more than 5 or 6 teams, recently only 2-4. No limits or minimums per team (within reason!) and no entry fee.

Yes always categories lilke those you mention, plus bonus rounds and other formats, not just Q & A. It's a good laugh and Kev the landlord is a good host. If you think he's a bit thick, he's not, just dyslexic so he gets some of the words a bit confused, but they are on a screen anyway.

It normally finishes about 10, but it has been earlier due to the small numbers. Bit late for young kids, but there is a playstation set up in the upstairs area.

Go for it!!

We have one here in Papamoa too on a Tuesday night, good mix of Kiwi and other. It's at the Rain Bar on Gravatt Rd. $100 cash plus $100 bar tab first prize ...

Bloody hell, that's a good prize, must cost to enter and get a fair few teams?

Am Loolah

Nope, costs nothing to enter - usually about a dozen teams I'd guess. We won 1st at our first attempt - but haven't managed again ...
