The questions were set by the 2018 Brain of Derbyshire, David Edwards, and the half-time game of Last Man Standing was won by Chris Grandison.

Our venue was the Royal Oak, Ockbrook, whom we thank for their hospitality and catering.

And we were pleased to welcome our patron, Geoff Mumford of the Burton Bridge Brewery, who presented the end of season awards.
