PUBLISHERS' PUB QUIZ AND CHAIRMAN'S CHAIR LEG AWARD: THE MORPETH ARMS: WENESDAY 19 JUNE 2013: 6.30 PM

Late last year we held a publishers' pub quiz evening at the Morpeth Arms in Pimlico which was very much enjoyed by those who came along.  Due to popular demand we are staging a further, challenging, event for publishers and their colleagues at the same  venue, in the 1920's themed 'Spying Room', on the evening of Wednesday 19 June.

The event will begin at 6.30 with a light supper and drinks and the quiz will follow. The winners of the quiz will be awarded the prestigious, much coveted, Chairman's Chair Leg Award.

This will be a great networking opportunity, so do come along and join us at the Morpeth Arms - pre-registration is essential , the event is free to ACE members and you can register here.
