Dave has just posted about this on the Gladiators site.
Basically the Hitchin Blackwolf club do an annual Military History Quiz, plus generally run a small bring and buy. I went last year as part of one of bedford's two teams, and had a really good time.
It would be nice if we could raise a Phoenix team this year.
The Quiz is on Thursday the 15th of October, and is located at the Scout Hut, Old hale way, Hitchin. The start time is 7:45pm, but is open from 7:15pm.
Teams are usually 3 or 4 people, so if there are at least a couple of others interested in going then I can let Hitchin know we are coming, as they have only a certain amount of space, you need to register your interest in entering a team in advance.
If anyone else wants to take part, can they let me know.

This is really specialist knowledge. When you say military History - what eras do they cover?

Pretty much everything, from ancient Rome to WWII.
We're not talking mastermind here of course, it's more like historical wargaming meets pub quiz.
I went last year, and while there were a number of questions I couldn't answer, there were enough that I could, and I'm not exactly a military history buff.
As an example one of the rounds was a series of anagrams of the names of famous people, with a note as to which period they were from. I think about 20 or so names.
Another round was on famous last words, another was about rivers (all of which had a military history connection such as "which river did Caesar cross on his way to conquer Rome") , plus there was a round on war films, and a few more that I can't really remember now.
