Saturday evening turned out a lot better than the afternoon with the Merton Way Quiz and Curry night. Peter and Jasper Kemp provided a great Curry selection with Chicken, lamb and vegetable curry, rice, poppadums’, chutneys the lot. Matt Haswell helped out in the bar whilst they weaved their magic in the kitchen. The U13s waited on table and Sherbs provided a really entertaining Quiz. All the teams were represented and Terry brought along the Jerry Hatchetts. The Youth section were well represented not just as waiters but with six teams. It was a closely fought battle but playing their joker on the last round of general knowledge just got Quizmas Quackers the title with five or six teams close behind. Quizteam Aguilera,  Its beginning to look like Chrristmas, and The Boars all in with a shout at the end. Thanks to all those who helped put on this great Merton Event and all those who supported it. Next Event Fancy Dress Christmas Drinks on Saturday 12^th December.
