Speaker: Annual Quiz

Join the Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Branch for a light-hearted quiz night with a drink and buffet supper. Just organise yourself and your fellow APM members and colleagues into a team of four for the quiz. During the evening three quiz games will be played. There will be questions on general knowledge, project management and a special theme that you will find out on the night! Compete against other teams of four and show what a knowledgeable bunch you are! We are aiming for a total of 40 participants, ideally in ten groups of four. (Don't worry if you can only come on your own, please contact us and we will try to build up a team). For each separately themed quiz, the winning prize will be four bottles of wine to be shared amongst the team. There will also be a prize for the team that has the highest overall score.
