Looking for a Night Out?  Try Cerebrally Challenged

Tuesday 19th April sees the first ever Cerebrally Challenged come to Maidenhead. Cerebrally Challenged is a fast paced mixture of Quiz Show and challenges, combining general knowledge with a slice of anarchic fun.

This Scout Network event is open to everyone so get on down there on the 19th. Cerebrally Challenged will be held at 19th Maidenhead Scout HQ just off the Cookham Road near to the centre of town behind the Leisure Centre.

Come and join us and make this (hopefully) annual event begin with a bang. Come in groups or on your own, and we'll sort out teams on the night. It will start at 8pm. If you have any questions please free to ring Adam Jenkins County Scout Network Administrator and Maidenhead Local Area Scout Network Co-ordinator on 07795 512479 or email admin@bcsn.org.uk.
