Orrell & District Quiz League

The fixtures for the new season are now available on the Fixtures page, with each team's fixtures also being displayed on their team page.

The AGM of the Orrell and District Quiz League will take place at The Delph Tavern on Sunday 4th December at 8pm. Any delegate wishing to include a motion at the meeting must send it to me before 26th November

As a result of beating The Cricketers and Doctor's Orders losing to Running Horses, The Delph Tavern have become league champions in their first season in the league.  Congratulations to you all!

In recognition of all the work he does collating the results and league tables, The Committee have invited Chris Quinn to join us and he has accepted. His role is that of IT & Admin Officer 

As you may have noticed, handicaps have been assigned to teams based on the first half of the season, and handicapped scores and a table will be calculated for matches in the scond half of the season.  The hanicaps for the teams are as follows:

Paul McAteer has resigned as Chairman of the Orrell and District Quiz league. His resignation was accepted at tonight's Committee Meeting. John Winnard (Vice Chairman) is now acting Chairman. I would like express my and the Committee's gratitude for Paul's contribution to the Orrell Quiz League over the last six years. His impartiality, enthusiasm  and perspicacity will be missed.

It is with sadness that we have to announce the death of Bapi (Sri Amitayu) Bhabani, a long term member of the Running Horse Colts team, who passed away on May 26th.

The landlord of The Masons has felt it necessary to adjust its opening hours in accordance to the changing drinking habits of their customers. As a consequence the closing time on Mondays and Tuesdays has been altered such that 9:30 pm is the current and foreseeable closing time.

It is possible to complete quizzes between 45 minutes to 1 hour with a following wind, so could teams arrive at the Masons at the very latest by 8:30 pm (earlier if possible) so that the match has a decent chance of being completed.

The 2022 fixtures have been loaded to the fixtures calendar.  The first match is on 26th April.

There are several team changes:

Robin Hood are now called Running Horses and will play at the Running Horses.

Talbot/Turks Head Colts are now called "Doctor's Orders" and will play from The Cricketers Arms in St Helens

Merrymen will also now play at The Running Horses.

UVC Blues have also moved to the Cricketers Arms in St Helens and will be called "The Cricketers"

The original Delph Tavern team has folded, but are replaced by a new team (with some old faces) playing under the same name.
