Title: Any help gratefully received... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, January 10, 2008, 20:46:13 .... I'm trying to draw up a list for a friend, of pubs and clubs in the Borough of Swindon, and I suppose count in Bassett, that have a regular pub quiz.
I've got about 8 so far. They really need to be regular not the odd one off. Just want the pub or club name..... Cheers for any input. Title: Any help gratefully received...
