If you missed us at the Invicta Bar in December last year, you missed a great fun night. We're sorry we can't provide the atmosphere but here's your chance to make like you were there with us and play along.

Welcome to the The Christmas Quiz.

You know how computers can be a bit picky. Well, we've tried to type everything prettily, especially with the free text questions so use Caps where they're supposed to be and remember that "An Orange" is not the same as "Oranges".

Good Luck!
