Orrell & District Quiz League

The fixtures for the new season have now been added to the calendar, and copies will be emailed to all team contacts.

It has been brought to our attention that Robin McIntosh, well known to many Orrell players, died shortly before Christmas.

Robin's funeral will be held on Friday January 3rd. The service is at 2pm at Charnock Richard  crematorium, followed by a celebration of Robin's life at 3.00pm at Christ Church Newburgh, then refreshments at the Red LIon.  Family flowers only, but donations welcome to Douglas Valley Lions, a cause for whom Robin worked tirelessly.

Further details may be found or the Ormskirk Quiz League's website.

Congratulations go out to Millstone who are the new Division 1 champions, and to St Teresa's who are champions of Division 2.

The fixtures for the second stage of this season, in which the league divides into two halves, have been published.  The fixtures can be found in the fixtures calendar, and can also be found on each team's individual pages.

A summary of each set of fixtures can also be seen below - the home team is shown in the left hand column, and the away team in the top row.

Earlier this year, a member of the Running Horse Colts team, Brian Mason lost his wife following a brain tumour. In recognition of the kindness and support provided during her illness, Brian, Colin Davies and Les Hewitt are taking part in an organised charity bike ride to raise funds for Macmillan nurses. The Bucket & Spade ride runs from Southport to Blackpool and back, a total distance of 75 miles.

Due to the present economic climate, St Teresa's club is shutting on Tuesday nights, so the team are moving to the Britannia at Hall Green, Upholland. The first game at the Britannia will be against Park Lane on Tuesday 28th May. 

We urgently need spare quizzes in case of cancellations. If you have one to hand could you submit the quiz asap to Arthur Penny at 4 Cross Lane, Billinge, WN5 7DB.  Please remember it is in league rules if you ask for a cancellation you must set a quiz to replace the one used, otherwise we can ask the question setters to do one for us and you will be charged their fee - at present this is £25.

The Quiz League of London will be running a buzzer quiz tournament on Saturday 21 September.  Registration opens on their website on 13 May.

Judging by last year, the available places are likely to be taken up quickly.

A spare set of questions is held at the Upholland Conservative Club.  If your set has not arrived on match day, please contact the club to check that a spare set is available.
