Amazing picture. The camera doesn’t lie.

Yet another evening of glamour on Friday 28 November.

The entire Bashers family are encouraged to attend.

Start time will be about 6:30pm at Delhi Zaike, 26 Pingxi Lu (Off Jianhe Lu) 平溪路26号. That’s in the hongqiao area, neighbours of Kooka Pies and you’ll find a map on the Kooka website.

The cost for the buffet looks like being 150RMB/head, plenty of vege and halal options (any other dietary requirements?) Drinks deal to be confirmed but rest assured there will be drinks.

The Annual Awards ceremony will be held as part of the evening.

Also members will be competing in an egg and spoon race to form next year’s committee.

still more details to come….

We’re expecting a full tournament report from a prominent basher any day now (volunteers?) but to tide you over a couple of moments to remember.

Read it and weep. Another big headache from last night - from all the shouting i’m sure! 

Apologies for marking a few wrong - i’m a bear of very small brain

Our usual winners by a long stretch - but the peloton is closing in fast 

And a dead heat (after penalties for Hot-Dog like behaviour) for third and another for fifth - this is one red hot comp!

Mr The Prof has already started prepping the next test ….stand by for some serious intellectualism!

Anyone who was afraid of the rain and didn’t show or anyone who wants to relive the moment can get a taste of a draft version of the quiz here
