Inquizative Events

21/04/2023

Some of you may have heard that The Fist & Puppet pub has once again been stolen. It was there one minute, then the next some bu**er had nicked it!
The owners are rightfully very upset, but until it turns up again they will be moving themselves into The Rutland pub in Chesterfield, which will be opening its doors again soon. The Inquizative Quiz, along with all the regular teams (including Ghostly Hog) will be joining them in the move, and hopefully we'll see D.U.M.P.S. down there too.
Thanks for your time.
