The annual Charity Quiz will be held at Christ the King Parish Club on January 27th at 7.30pm.

Teams can have a maximum of four players and it will cost £7.50 per head, which includes a supper of scouse. There will also be the customary raffle.

Please contact Dave Cotson (davecotson@hotmail.com) to give him an idea of numbers, and to let him know if anybody would like the non-scouse supper alternative. This is always a very pleasant evening, with a superb quiz, and is a great opportunity to quiz socially and help raise money for charity.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Barbara Rouse, long-serving member and captain of Monstrous Regiment quiz team.  Barbara will be much missed by all who have enjoyed her company and contribution to the quiz league over the years.

Barbara's funeral service will take place at the Rosemary Chapel at Springwood Crematorium (Springwood Avenue, Liverpool, L25 7UN) at 10.00 am on Friday 6th January. This will be followed by her burial in the nearby woodland plot in Allerton Cemetery at 11.00 am and a gathering at Allerton Hall (The Pub in the Park - also L25 7UN) straight after at 11.30.

Would any of you be interested in playing in a couple of trial runs of a new ITV Quiz Show?

The quiz is being written and developed by some of the same team behind University Challenge, and their aim is that it's a robust academic challenge - but not as recondite as UC can be! It's pitched at families of Sporcle addicts and board game lovers.

They are looking for clever, confident teams of three family members - a parent, child and grandparent. Ideally, the child on the team will be aged 10/11/12.

They are beta-testing a couple of versions of the format in their MediaCity offices on Friday 4th August and Thursday 1st September, and are really keen to have real families come in and play.

It's not for broadcast, so should hopefully be a fun, low-pressure day out!  If you fancy it, give them a call on 0161 952 0609 or send them an email to clare.parody@itv.com
