It is with HUGE pleasure that we announce that last night’s weekly quiz was won by The Old Contemptibles. After languishing in last place most weeks, to see them win on a tie-break was a fantastic! Well done! Anti’s Mob lost out on the tie-break, followed by Alzheimers, then the Quizzards and last but not least, the Lone Ranger.
The monthly quiz is happening this Sunday (17th) and we look forward to seeing you there or at the mixed doubles darts match on Saturday (16th).
Pub domino team claimed another victory this week but the quiz team lost out again.
Thank you for your continuing support.

The North Luffenham Parish Council met on December 3rd 2012. The Minutes of that meeting have now been agreed and are posted below
Please take a few moments to contribute your thoughts on what recreational facilities you would like the Parish Council to consider adding to the village.
Please use this form to select your preference and add some ideas of your own to the list.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 15th February.
Domino team scored a win this week after last weeks loss. The quiz team lost by ONE point after last weeks win!
Last weeks winners of the Wednesday quiz were the Alzheimers, who this week were beaten into last place by the Old Contemptibles with Anty’s mob winning again.
Due to lack of support, the Thursday coffee mornings have come to a close. If there’s anything anyone would like us to try, please let us know.
We have been toying with the idea of running a weight management support group. No weekly fees or weigh-in, just a get together of like-minded people who can share tips, advice, support and encouragement. If this sounds what you’re looking for, would you prefer daytime or evenings? Please let us know. Don’t be shy!
Feb 16th we’re holding a mixed double Valentines dart match. Pairs must be one male, one female! £2 per person to enter and the winners will win a cash prize. Doesn’t matter if you’re not very good, just come along and give it a go and have fun!
The following evening (Feb 17th) is the monthly quiz. Teams of no more than four, £1 per person to enter and as usual, there are cash prizes.
Looking forward to seeing you at one or more of these events.

Quiz and domino teams had a rest over the festive period but started back again this week. The quiz team were home and won and the domino team were away and lost 🙁
The weekly quiz was not held on Boxing day, but was won by The Alzheimer’s team last week after four tie-break questions! And by Anty’s team this week. Seems they are determined to share he spoils between them, not giving The Old Contemptibles, The Coogies, Matthew and The Apprentice or Annonymous the chance.
So, if you think you’re up for the challenge, Wednesday evenings, 8.30 (prompt) for £1 pp entry (+ £3.50 if you fancy a light supper) , come along and give them a run for their money!
The monthly quiz is on this Sunday (13th) 8 pm start. £1 pp entry and a maximum of FOUR players to a team please.
Thursday coffee mornings are still running.
