There were two really good meetings in April. The meeting was our annual Quiz Night with Eoin as our host, question setter and quizmaster. Cards were selected to determine the teams of two, with the exception of the on-line chaps (Bill, Kenny and Jim) who formed a team of three. The pairs were Norn and Nicolas, Scott and Jeff, James and Dave and Ivor and Chris. All of the participants present brought along a little something to form a prize-pot for the winners; there was some nice stuff (and some junk) included. Eoin set us six gruelling rounds, including music, magical posters, stage names and general knowledge. Thanks to some lucky guesses, a wise playing of their joker and James doing most of the heavy lifting, James and Dave (aka The Dippy Ducks) emerged victorious.

The second meeting was all about Home Made Magic hosted by Barry. Barry started things off with a tremendous prediction box effect which left a hand grenade pin in place (thankfully), followed by a mini Zoltar machine card divination. They were both perfect demonstrations of why Barry was asked to host the meeting. Most of the members present showed us something. We had splendid demonstrations from Garry, Chris, Nicolas, Bob, John, Scott, Jono, Steve and James, with props ranging in size from a sub-trunk to elastic bands and everything in between. We had another great night, well hosted and paced by Barry.
