[PLUG-AV] [plug-ctte] Quiz night and prizes

[Euan de Kock]

I think Harry's idea is a good one. I think I still have a Pi lying 
around as an unclaimed prize a few quizzes back.

If we can get a few donations of various boards, we can put together a 
table, and each winner can pick an item.

As to questions, I'd be happy to do something here, I'd like to let 
James H have an option to respond first though.

Regards,

Euan.
