Seasoning
Our little mid-week quiz is about those heady days to come — sun high in the air, cold drinks accompanying the sound of leather on willow or just relaxing by the pool somewhere — or perhaps more rain, cups of tea and yet more football on the television as you are stuck on your sofa...
And all you have to do is come up with the right seasonal answer and tell us why...
Question:

Doubles all round winner
Our winner of the weekend quiz was Mary Stangroom who plays with Chelmsford Silver Band, who will be getting a fantastic Protec IP301DWL Double Trumpet IPAC Case with Wheels — worth well over £200 — in the post.
The connection was of course Black Dyke Mills Band in 1972, who won the 'Double' of British Open and National Championship titles in the same year as Beetle car sales topping the Model T Ford, Glasgow Rangers winning the European Cup Winners Cup and Eugene Cernan becoming the last man to walk on the moon.
