Hello there!
It’s all about the music in today’s edition of the Pub Quiz HQ newsletter.
It may be sometime since you last received an email from Pub Quiz HQ, but thank you very much for subscribing my newsletter.
It’s been hard to hear of the impact a second lockdown will have on many of the country’s hospitality businesses this week. I hope all can find a way to survive and also hope they receive the support they need.
I look forward to future days - back in a busy pub getting stuck into a good pub quiz and I’m sure you do too!
Here’s an email teaser for you:
