Cheltenham Preview evenings 2016

I'm in the process of organising the Taunton Racecourse one as last year. Date booked Friday 11th March and am hoping for a repeat line-up on the panel.

Will update as soon as I have further details.
 
That's an excellent idea since there's a lot of shite spouted on these things. If the thread from 2 years ago is also available then all the better.
 
Now that our Birmingham preview is no more we need to find one as close to Derby as possible.
 
Baldeagle is in the process of organising one at Kanturk Rugby Club March 10 .

Maybe Slim will grace us with his presence and put us right for the week !

Kanturk is a long way from home these days. You need 'doggy' Keefe on the panel.

I'll add my two cents to the 'alternative Cheltenham thread'.
 
Will probably be having one in The Griffin, St Helens after the pub quiz one night - it'll just be me telling folk I have a certainty to win the Foxhunters and then having a week to come up with it but should be a great laugh.

Likely to be accompanied by a picture round and also music - generally some 60's, 80's cheese and some Alexander O'Neal (Criticize is the quizmaster's favourite).

Everyone welcome - £4,25 for a Peroni, real ale on tap, lovely bar staff, good food & Sky TV.

I'm aiming to be at the London one in Covent Garden this year if anybody is thinking of attending.

I doubt it'll be £4.25 for a Peroni though and the good food will generally consist of something you can't pronounce.
