Orrell & District Quiz League

We plan to run a Handicap table alongside the traditional table as we did last year. The handicaps are based on last year's league results and are the same as were used in the Cup and plate competitions. The Handicaps are as follows:-

The Registration meeting for teams wishing to participate in the 2017 season will take place at 8pm on Sunday 12th February at Upholland Conservative Club

 If we have sufficient teams, we aim to start the new season on Tuesday 4th April. 

The BBC showed a fascinating programme about quizzing on 30th November, and it is available on iPlayer for the next month if you did not see it.  Click on the image below to go to the BBC iPlayer site.

Congratulations to Paul McAteer and Dave Phythian (both from Britannia 2014) who won the pairs competition. The runners up were Roy Atherton (Robin Hood) & Paul Coffey (RH Colts) and Sue Perks (Robin Hood) & Robin Fane (Britannia 2014).

The Code is returning to BBC1 and they are looking for either SOLO quizzers, or teams of TWO or THREE to take part.
