Don't forget folks, tomorrow night is the first of the BTSA events this new season....And it's the quiz night.

 

A fun night for all, with prizes on offer for the winners and the usual "inevitable" raffle...

 

There are eight spoken rounds, one marathon round and one round of music intro's, 20 intro's taken from songs of the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's....

 

Admission is £4 adults / £2 U16's (members £3 adults / £1 U'16's)

 

Doors open at 7.30pm for a 8.00pm start and the bar is open.

 

These quiz nights usually run for three hours and are great fun for family, friends and small furry animals from alpha centuri... So lets make our first fund raiser for this season a success. These evenings attract no running costs and all taken will go towards our first project - the training lights.

So...to please some (and to give BB some much required and needed assurance regarding the research the quiz master does).... I'll answer my own question...

 

"The Mc is actually the abbreviated form of Mac (and sometimes meic) and was usually written M'c (sometimes even M') with the apostrophe indicating that the name has been abbreviated (there are many other characters indicating abbreviation including two dots under the c).

 

There is however one distinction you can make as far as differentiating between a name being Scottish or Irish. If it is an O' name it is always Irish (those in Scotland are mostly nineteenth century emigrations), but if it is a mac, mc or other variation it can be both Scottish or Irish!"

 

I was always under assumption the difference was "local"...

I knew that...

 

See Ryan, I told you Local wasn't a celt, (you didn't put in all the letters but I knew what you meant)
