Halloween Quiz at Corbie InnWho won the Halloween Quiz? Aaaahhh! Dunno!

The Corbie Inn’s first Halloween Quiz took place on Thursday 30 October and was even better attended than usual!

Many of the participants had booked tables for a meal beforehand to make sure they had their place for the Halloween and charity quiz night and a good number had also dressed up, if that is the right description, getting into the spirit of the evening.
