Treasure Hunt & Pub Quiz

20th July 2008

        On holiday and fancy an evening out and meet some of the locals. Why not join us for our annual Treasure Hunt and Pub Quiz. We meet up at the Maritime Museum Newry Beach Holyhead at 5.00pm. We finish at a local pub for a  quiz. How easy is that we tell you the start and finish all you have to do is  sort out the clues in between. There are prizes for the first home, and for the car that got lost and came last. A well known ships Captain got the wooden spoon last year so you could be in good company.
          
                                       Entry Fee £5.00 per car
Notice.
Many thanks to the Queen Vic Porth y Felin for hosting the Pub Quiz and Treasure Hunt prize giving. Also to all those who supported us. We had 20 cars that took part in the Treasure Hunt. Many thanks to Patsy and Gareth  for organizing the whole thing.
