Re: Film Buff Quiz No. 41. Hi, I just saw the posting from Fibonacci. At the moment we are not doing e-mail versions of our quizzes, I'm afraid.
Can I please ask Mr Ronnie Hall, if he reads this, to write to me with his current address as we have a £5 cheque for him [lucky dip prize] for our previous quiz on Lincolnshire villages which has been returned from the Post Office. Many thanks. Maria Lear, Cartref, Eastville Road, Toynton St Peter, Spilsby, Lincolnshire PE23 5AT.
