Quiz Liverpool

It is our said duty to inform the members of the Liverpool Quiz Leagues that David Ormesher of Earles died on Wednesday 20th December.  Our thoughts go out to his friends and family at this sad time.

Funeral details will be announced as soon as we have them.

A full day's convivial quizzing will be taking place next Saturday, 16th December, at The Cross Keys pub in Earle Street, Liverpool (just off Old Hall Street), beginning at 11.00am and running through until about 5.00pm.

There will be three main quizzes - an Individual written quiz, a team quiz and a special quiz (details to follow).

Amongst the quizzers attending will be members of the Eggheads and Chasers and you could play with them in the team quiz where the teams are drawn at random from all of the entrants.
