Brain of Britain Quiz
The winning team cannot hear you over the sound of how awesome they are!
Tuesday night Barking & Dagenham staged its first annual Brain of Britain Quiz, run by Richard and AJ. By far the runaway winners were a team consisting of Charlie, Paul, Gavin and Joe.
This Saturday is the Stevenage Plus Disco, confusingly being held in London Colney. Towards the end of the month, we will be organising a group outing to Southend Airshow. We will also be planning our programme of events for the forthcoming three months this Thursday. For more details please get in contact with us.
The Barking & Dagenham Pool Tournament
The members of B&D Plus had just enough time to race out of the house following the new episode of Doctor Who to make it to Namco Funscape in Romford, for the Annual Barking & Dagenham Pool Tournament. The winner of the singles tournament was new member Charlie.
The Pool Trophy: B&D Chair Gemma gives it to Charlie.

Telly Addicts
Noel Edmonds actually came down to B&D to host it!!
This evening at our regular club night we played “Telly Addicts” hosted by Noel Edmonds – via a DVD helpfully provided by our Richard. Well, it was almost as good!
This Saturday is the First Annual Barking & Dagenham Pool Tournament. We will be meeting up at Namco Funscape in the Brewery, Romford, at 7.30pm.

This Saturday we are due to go Bowling at the Namco Funscape (formerly known as Number Ten Bowling Alley), the Brewery, Romford, whilst Saturday week is Brean, the National Plus Holiday at Brean Sands in Somerset. Apparently one of the bands playing at Brean is a Blues Brothers Tribute Bands, whilst there will also be a Real Ale Trip as a daytime excursion during the weekend.
Incidentally I am informed by the organisers that it is just about possible for people to book up for Brean even now, however the full balance of £72.50 must by stumped up immediately (Plussers who have said they were intending to go – take note!).
