MMQ - MountainMind Quiz

7.30pm Wednesday 19 March 2025
at Strathmore Rugby Club, Forfar DD8 1RL

Hill walking clubs, mountaineering clubs and organisations associated with the Scottish outdoors are invited to this year’s MountainMind Quiz. Traditionally this event has been contested by teams from Tayside and the surrounding area, but participants from further afield are welcome.
Forfar & District Hill Walking Club will organise and host this year’s event. As in the past, teams should consist of no more than three people. Clubs and organisations are not restricted to a single team. Guests and supporters are welcome, indeed encouraged. All proceeds collected on the evening will be donated to charity.
We look forward to seeing you on the 19 March.
