Dear all,

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… 🌟🎄 which can only mean 
one thing — our annual School Quiz is returning to sprinkle a little 
festive magic! 🎁✨

Join us in *B23 (School of Physics & Astronomy)* on *Wednesday 10th 
December 2025* for an evening filled with festive cheer and delightfully 
questionable trivia confidence. *Arrive from 4.30pm* to settle in, enjoy 
the atmosphere, and size up the competition — before the quiz begins its 
merry mischief and festive chaos at *5pm sharp*.

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 *_Form <https://forms.office.com/e/wZfVtF9XcJ>_*with your 
team’s name and the names and emails of all team members. *The deadline 
for entries is noon on Wednesday 3rd December 2025*.

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 *_Children’s Brain Tumour 
Research Centre <http://www.cbtrc.org/>._**To make payment for your 
team’s entry donation, please email Elisha or Nick to arrange a time.*

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!

We also have a special prize for the highest-scoring undergraduate team 
— if your team is all undergraduates, just add a sparkling little ★ to 
the end of your team’s name (please keep those team names merry, joyful, 
and suitable for Santa’s nice list!)

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!

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.

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.

Wishing you a warm, twinkling, and joy-filled run-up to Christmas — we 
can’t wait to celebrate with you! ✨🎄❄️🎁

*Best wishes,*

Elisha & Nick 🤶🎅
