Hope you enjoy this one!
It's a 'Pub Quiz', pure and simple. Forty plus questions in four rounds. With some familiar music in between rounds.
Begin the CST session by asking members if they enjoy going to a pub, club or bar?
Have they a favourite pub they like to visit? Do they like to just go for a pint with their mates, or for a meal with with their partner? Or maybe they enjoy a pub quiz?
How has going to the pub changed over the years?
- It is more of a family experience (depending on where you go)
- More of a focus on gastropubs
- No smoking indoors (thank goodness)
- Stricter drink and drive laws (ditto)
What are members' favourite drinks and tipples? Do people prefer a pint or a glass of wine, or something else? Ask members to ...
- List some local pubs & name their favourite
- Say what their favourite pub lunch is
- List some beers and ciders
- List some wines
- List some spirits
- List some soft drinks
Here is a drinks menu from the 1970s to help discussions along ...
