Portico Library Fundraising Quiz Night!

Come to this summer night of Julian joie de vivre designed to tickle your intellectual palate and send your sensibilities soaring into the stratosphere. Expect serious questions, fun questions, difficult questions, very difficult questions, really really tough questions and a few tasty little teasers. Themed rounds will include, in this bicentenary year, Dickens — of course — as well as other literature and general knowledge.

Food and drinks will be served on the evening to stimulate the brain cells.

Mein host Ed Glinert will first provide the answers—then pose the questions. That’s when it gets even more interesting!

£15 per Ticket. Book by telephone (0161 236 6785), email (admin@theportico.org.uk), in person or through Eventbrite http://porticoquiznight2012.eventbrite.co.uk
