<p class="xelementtoproof">It’s beginning to look a lot like
Christmas… <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">
🌟🎄</span> which can only mean one thing — our annual
School Quiz is returning to sprinkle a little festive magic!
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🎁</span><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">✨</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">Join us in <b>B23 (School of Physics
& Astronomy)</b> on
<b>Wednesday 10th December 2025</b> for an evening filled with
festive cheer and delightfully questionable trivia confidence.
<b>Arrive from 4.30pm</b> to settle in, enjoy the atmosphere,
and size up the competition — before the quiz begins its merry
mischief and festive chaos at
<b>5pm sharp</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">Gather your merry crew! Teams of 4
can include any mix of staff and/or students from the school.
To hop aboard the quiz sleigh, simply complete the entry
<b><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#0070C0"><a href="https://forms.office.com/e/wZfVtF9XcJ" moz-do-not-send="true"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#0070C0">Form</span></a></span><span style="color:#467886">
</span></u></b>with your team’s name and the names and
emails of all team members.
<b>The deadline for entries is noon on Wednesday 3rd December
2025</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">This year, we’re inviting everyone to
join in the spirit of giving with a £1 donation per team
player, which includes five free raffle tickets, to support
the School’s chosen charity, the
<b><u><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0070C0"><a href="http://www.cbtrc.org/" moz-do-not-send="true"><span style="color:#0070C0">Children’s Brain Tumour
Research Centre</span></a>.</span></u><span style="color:#0070C0">
</span></b>*To make payment for your team’s entry donation,
please email Elisha or Nick to arrange a time.*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Additional raffle tickets can be purchased in advance at 20p
each before the event from C305 or Reception in the Physics
building foyer — perfect for those feeling extra lucky!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">We also have a special prize for the
highest-scoring undergraduate team — if your team is all
undergraduates, just add a sparkling little
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif">★</span> to
the end of your team’s name (please keep those team names
merry, joyful, and suitable for Santa’s nice list!)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">This event is always extremely
popular (Santa wishes his workshops filled this fast), and
spaces are limited. As much as we’d love to open the doors to
the whole North Pole, entry is restricted to our School only —
no outside Schools, departments, or spectators. Places are
offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and teams aren’t
registered until we receive your team name… so don’t delay!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">To keep the festive spirits glowing,
pizza will be provided for all contestants along with a shared
table allowance of drinks (soft drinks and alcoholic options).
Catering can accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free
diets — just let us know on the form so our elves can prepare
accordingly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">If you register but later find you’re
unable to attend, please let the organiser know so your spot
can be gifted to another team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xelementtoproof">Wishing you a warm, twinkling, and
joy-filled run-up to Christmas — we can’t wait to celebrate
with you!
