At the Liverpool Quiz League Council meeting held on 6th March it was decided that the matches that were held (or not) on 29th Feb would be declared null and void due to the duplicated set of questions.  The matches will be rescheduled to take place at the end of the season on Monday 4th April.

The League AGM, which was due to take place on that night, will now take place on Sunday April 10th, at CTK Parochial Club, starting at 7pm.

The heats of the MQL MIMIR competition will take place at Aigburth People's Hall on Wednesday 16th March, beginning at 8.00pm.  The heats will consist of the following matches, with the Liverpool players highlighted in yellow:

Unfortunately, the questions sent out on 29th Feb had been previously used on 8th Feb. The problem will be discussed at the Liverpool council meeting on Sunday 6th March and a decision made on how to proceed. 

The meeting will be held at Christ the King Parochial Club,  beginning at 7pm.

The annual charity quiz at Christ the King on Friday February 19th was, as ever, a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

At the end of the evening, £370 was raised for the charity Children with Cancer UK.
