Warrington Quiz League

On 16th August Colin Foster of Alford Academicals won his first heat of Mastermind by answering questions on British Olympic Medallists (1960-2008).   His semi-final will be filmed soon, but is unlikely to be shown until early next year.

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.

After some fine quizzing on Wednesday 20th March 2013 at The Sands Hotel, Ainsdale, the places for the MIMIR final have been decided.
 
The four players, who will contest the final on May 15 at St Francis de Sales Parochial Club in Walton, are Pat Gibson (Ormskirk), Darren Martin (Ormskirk), Ray Oakes (Ormskirk) and DAG Griffiths (Southport & Formby)
 

Colin Foster became the Warrington Individual Champion at the Warrington MIMIR heats held on Wednesday 13th Feb, 2013.

The Supporters' Plate was won by Cliff Houghton.

Colin Foster, David Knapp, Derek Moody, and Roy Smith will take Warrington's four places in the MIMIR finals in March.

A film-maker, Jeffrey French, is in the process of making a documentary on the popularity of pub quizzes in the UK and USA, and will be filming at a specially arranged quiz at Christ The King Parochial Club, Queen's Drive, Liverpool.  The quiz will take place on Thursday 21st February, starting at 7.30pm.  You will be most welcome to come along particularly if you have any information on the history of MQL, please let Cliff Houghton know if you or any member of your team will be attending.
