That little gem of information that you have tucked away in the back of your mind, which you never thought you would ever make use of, could prove to be the winning answer. So come along, amaze yourself and have a good laugh at some of the weird and wonderful questions that our quiz setters manage to find. Unlike a typical pub quiz there are no set teams - they are drawn at random on the day. So don't feel you can't come on your own - new members are always welcome.
The quiz is purely for fun - there is no prize to be won.
Since we meet in local pubs using a room free of charge, you are asked to show your appreciation and buy a drink at the bar. You have a choice of tea/coffee/soft drinks or, if you are so inclined, and many of us are, you can choose from a wide variety of alcoholic beverages.

N.B. The success of this quiz group is reliant on us having volunteers to set and manage the quiz.
At a monthly quiz meeting if we lack volunteer(s) to set the next quiz that session will be cancelled.
What do quiz-setting volunteers need to do (other than prepare the quiz)?
- Print off sets of questions to give out to anyone who is hard of hearing. These are put into an envelope and drawn out as each question is asked to avoid any unfair advantage being given. Currently there is one member who needs this service: there may be more in the future.
- Print off additional sheets where, for instance, there is a table round.
- Print off their set of Q&As to use during the quiz.
N.B. Question-setters can reclaim out-of-pocket printing expenses using the expenses form on our website (this is sent to our treasurer).
