A WINTER QUIZ
Following the success of of the midsummer Riddle Competition, News from Bree now issues a challenge to allr eaders in the form of the Winter Quiz. All questions are Tolkien related (naturally), mostly based on the Professor’s books, though one or two may be based more on the recent trilogy of films by Peter Jackson. As usual there are prizes on offer, including free MEPBM turns, a year’s free subscription to Flasghip, and copies of David Day’s book, “A Guide to Tolkien”. (Because of postage costs this latter prize is available to UK based players only - other players will receive a free MEPBM turn). All tied entries will be determined by a draw from a hat.
All answers should be sent to News from Bree and NOT to ME Games Ltd.
By post to: 2a Guinea Street, Exeter, EX1 1BS
By email to: nfbree@yahoo.co.uk
In order to reduce the admin work for ME Games, all entries must give your real name and either a snail mail address, or an email address by which you may be contacted should you win a prize that needs to be sent out postally.
