 Adrian Everix and Tony Hards invite you to the 2026 Steve Handley Memorial quiz, which is open to u3a members only (and potential members who would like to take up our offer of one u3a activity before deciding whether to join).

This annual quiz is named in memory of Steve Handley who was a formidable quizzer and founder member of our u3a quiz team and monthly quiz group. Steve died of prostate cancer spending his last few days receiving excellent care at the Pilgrims Hospice in Margate.

The entrance fee: £5 per person payable on the afternoon by cash or card.

Teams may be up to 6 people. Teams of fewer than 6 may be asked to welcome others to their team. Individuals and pairs are also welcome to come and will be included in a team.
