What Do Grapes Make…?

Playyourcardsright1980Welcome back!  Happy new year…

New for this forthcoming weekend RUCC are proud to announce our new wine tasting venture, ‘Play Your Grapes Right!’

This is a game for bon viveurs with a discerning palette and is set to take the wine tasting world by storm. Can you tell a Chateau Laffitte from a Chateau Pants?

For those who never saw the classic Brucie game show (and so you can get some practice in) the idea is to sample a series of fine and less than fine wines blind and decide on ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ based on perceived price. Glamorous assistants and top prizes are promised, and it should be an evening of bacchanalian delight. Bring you own spit bucket.

ImagesMerry Christmas. Looking forward, trips next term:

21st – 23rd January – Wales, staying at SWCC South Wales

4th – 6th February – Wales, staying in Wesminster South Wales

4th – 6th March – Mendips, Somerset, staying in Wessex SRT trip

Go on…. Book now to avoid disappointment – contact Nikki.

Weeeeee are the champions!

Images2_1NEWS FLASH! In a major upset ‘Chez’ Paul & John ‘Fully Fitted’ Kitchin accidentally won the Queens Head pub quiz this week.  Winning actual money they immediately demanded a recount and then vowed to reinvest the winnings at the Queens Head. We suspect it’s because Henry wasn’t with us.  If anyone is still around we will be there next Tuesday. With money. On the silly drinks front you will be gald to know that we discovered that the bar staff have now bought Martini glasses and a cocktail shaker and that Guinness shandy really doesn’t work. Looks good though.

Need Help…..

Images2UPDATE: As part of the Tuesday night pub quiz we now have an arrangement with the Queens Head bar staff over silly drinks.  So far we have discovered the following cocktails:

DIRTY VIMTO: Blue WKD & Port
DIRTY DR PEPPERS: Amaretto & Coke
DIRTY CHOCOLATE: Guniness & Tia Maria.

These are well worth a go.  Bar Staff have promised to do extra research for next week.  If you want to come along and help us please speak to Henry/Dave/Paul/John K, or turn up at 8.15.   This week we lost again. It turned out that the answer to the question ‘ which large animal has  a yellow underside formed of algae’ is apparently not ‘Cilla Black’.  Help needed….

Pub Quizzing

Image003 RUCC’s vain attempts at winning the pub quiz at the nob are still continuing with bitter dissapointment, though we were only 3 questions away from the money last time! Let the silly drinks continue!

This is just to remind everyone that there is a quiz in mojo’s on thursday from 7pm, if anyone cares to come and try and win some beer! I understand there will be several members of caving present so come and give it a go.
