LQL Charity Quiz 2025

Dear all

A massive thank you to all of our teams and supporters who turned out for the Liverpool Quiz League Charity Quiz at CTK last night.

Many thanks to Brian Thompson, Keith Clare and Jim Martin who ran a great event and thanks to everyone who attended and gave so generously towards the raffle.

The event raised approximately £900-00 for our chosen charity, The North West Air Ambulance-well done everyone!

Danny Grimes

LQL Charity Table Quiz

28th March 2025

Dear all,

You may have heard from Danny Grimes or Paul Davitt that we are trying to get the Annual Charity Table Quiz going again. It is on Friday 28 March at Christ the King Social Club, Score Lane, Childwall, Liverpool L16 6AW starting at 7.45pm.

Many of you will recall that these Charity Quiz nights were organised by Dave Cotson from 2004 until 2020. Dave sadly passed away a few months ago, and in his memory, we have chosen to support the North West Air Ambulance, one of the causes with which he was associated for many years.

Entry is £10 per person and includes a table quiz, a scouse supper or a vegetarian alternative and a raffle.
Teams of up to six players.
Teams with two or more regular Quiz League players are classed as “professional” and will contest the Andy Walsh Trophy. Andy was a Liverpool Quiz League player who died around the time that we started running these quiz nights. Over the years Andy’s family were staunch supporters of the events.
Teams with one or no quiz league players will contest the new Dave Cotson Trophy!

I hope that you might be able to join us to support this very worthwhile charity, enjoy the company and moan at the questions! If so, please contact Danny at andannygrimes@aol.com.

Details about online payment and selecting your supper option will follow soon.

We look forward to seeing you.
