Quiz Night & Drinks/Nibbles

 

The Principals' Retreat drinks evening at the Victoria Pub was the perfect start—tucked away on the cosy mezzanine floor, everyone settled in for a night of easy conversation and plenty of laughs. The warm, welcoming atmosphere was ideal for catching up with old friends and meeting a few new faces.

 

The next night’s FN Quiz held at Bloody Marys was a true highlight, sparking friendly competition as teams went head-to-head. Each round brought a new theme, from general knowledge to The Price is Right, Name That Tune & Name the Movie, every question fuelled a lively, good-natured rivalry. The energy was contagious as everyone vied for the win. It was a memorable night!
