Week 10 - There was a problem with the quiz, in that it had 2 General Rounds (4 and 8) which comprised the same questions. Approx. 75% of teams decided to use the spare questions from the previous rounds to form a Round 8, the remainder played 7 rounds only. All Div 1 matches played 7 Rounds, all Div 2 played 8 rounds and 3 of the 4 matches in Div 3 played 8 rounds. The signed-for scores have been adopted to compile the divisional results' pages and to create the Week 10 tables. This matter will be be discussed by the Committee at its meeting on Wednesday, 4th December 2024.
Please note that The Golden Lion weekday opening time is 3pm NOT 2pm, as currently shown on internet searches. The Contacts page has been updated, Saturday and Sunday opening times remain unchanged.This was confirmed by the landlord.

Before setting a quiz, all question setters are requested to read the guidelines carefully and follow them. They have been put together by experienced players and setters and are designed to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable evening. In particular, adhere to the advice about the breadth of the rounds you set and keep the subject-matter general rather than narrowly focussed.
