Quiz Night 2 and Italian Night both successes

Quiz Night 2 enjoyed a huge turnout, with 10 teams and somewhere between 50 to 60 participants! The next quiz will probably be scheduled for the second Wednesday of every month - so the next one is Wednesday 11 July.

Italian Night proved far more popular than the usual BBQ, with over 50 main courses sold. For only a few hundred taka, we transformed the downstairs dining area, and we think we'll just keep the candles, plants and dimmed lighting as standard. It also offered us an easy test run for future Saturday themed nights - should the next one be Mexican, Thai, Phillipino, American, French, Spanish? Let us know if you have any ideas.

Celebrating the longest day of 2007: the Solstice party

Thursday 21 June 2007: the Solstice party

The celebration will begin at 18:48 sunset and will include fire spinning, cocktails, sangria and a BBQ. Theme: sun, fire & summer, so wear something bright and something cool (bring your sandals, sunglasses, shorts, swimsuits, lunghis, anything)!

Free entry. High temperatures (79-93 Fahrenheit, 26-34 Celsius) and showers are likely, so dressing down should help.

The return of the BAGHA Club Quiz Night

Quiz Night is back this coming Wednesday, and we hope you can make it. Pick a team name, wear a team colour and test your knowledge! Entry fee to the competition is 100 taka per person, and the money will go to the winning team's charity of choice.

The last Quiz Night was a success with a decent turnout - let's see if we can get a larger crowd this time. The BHC Club also hosted a Quiz Night last month, and if they're up for it, we'll bring back the Bagha-BHC relationship that we enjoyed a few years back.

You don't need to register beforehand. Just show up for the Happy Hour and enjoy a good laugh before we head downstairs for the quiz. Happy Hour 18:30 to 20:30, finger foods served throughout. Teams of up to 5. Pick a name and colour. Quiz starts between 19:30 and 20:00.

Everyone loves Italian food, so...

La Bella Notte on Friday 15 September 2007

A special Italian a la carte menu will be on offer for the evening. The evening starts around 19:00, and the kitchen closes at 22:00. Space may be tight, so book a table for you and your friends beforehand (500 taka). More details are available in the office.

Move quick for tickets to the return of band Blue Note

Jazz and blue duo Blue Note will return for their second gig on Thursday 6 June. Blue Note has quickly established itself as the most light-hearted and relaxing live music ensemble in the city. They played here last month to a 100-strong crowd that helped to raise 30,000 taka for the Bangladesh National Women Lawyers’ Association Hostel Appeal. We hope to exceed that amount this weekend.

300 taka. Proceeds will go to the BNWLA Hostel Appeal.
