The music round was titled Goodbye for Now, with all of the songs having the word goodbye in their title, among this evenings selection there were tracks from Mary Hopkin, Julian Lennon, Steam, UB40 and The Hoosiers.

In third place this month were Up Up and Away and Quiz Team Keeler both scoring 121 points, in second place were Sunny Dee with 131 points but congratulations this month go to Trident who romped into the lead with 137 points.
We’d like to thank you all for your support and look forward to seeing you next season.
