June JavaScript Pub Quiz

Similar to the HalfStack (http://halfstackconf.com/) JavaScript Pub Quiz held last November, we will be hosting a proper JavaScript Pub Quiz on June 28th.

Prizes

There are prizes available, including:

• Conference passes for FullStack in July (see details below)

• Conference passes for HalfStack (http://halfstackconf.com/) in November

• Others to be announced at the quiz

Format and basic rules

This will be a proper pub quiz, with the questions focused on JavaScript. Some will be easy, some will be challenging and/or obscure and some will be downright cruel.

The quiz will start at 7:30pm prompt. Team size is limited to 4. You may pick a team in advance or you may join a team at the event. No mobile devices or computers are be used during the quiz.

Cost

The cost to register is £5, payable in advance in order to discourage no-shows as the venue is not free for this event. If you register but cannot attend, please let us know. We will allow you to send a friend or colleague in your place. Drinks will currently be self funded, but that may change based on sponsorship interest.

Venue

Doggett's coat and badge on the south side of the Thames right next to Blackfriar's bridge.

Sponsors

Thanks to the generosity of SitePen (http://sitepen.com/), we will no longer need to charge to attend!

If you would like to sponsor a prize or drinks, please contact the meetup organizers.
