|
NEW (updated 16 March) |
|||
|
Due to the coronavirus pandemic all Stockport Quiz League fixtures have been suspended with immediate effect and until 16 April 2020 at |
|||
|
the earliest, although it would appear likely this hiatus could last for months rather than weeks.? The committee has taken this sad decision in |
|||
|
an attempt to reduce the threat to the many league members who are in the high risk category by virtue of their age and/or general health and |
|||
|
to comply with the latest government guidance to avoid pubs.? When the whole country is being encouraged to apply the principles of social |
|||
|
distancing it might be seen as irresponsible to ignore these to play something as trivial and inconsequential as a pub quiz. |
|||

Please check this website regularly for further news and please take good care of yourselves (and others) until we meet again. |

Dave Rainford |
|||
|
(added 9 March) |
|||
|
Over the weekend we learned the dreadful news that Dave Rainford passed away on Saturday.? Most people will know Dave from his regular |
|||
|
TV appearances as one of BBC's Eggheads, or going way back in time as ?Tremendous Knowledge? Dave from his stints on local radio with |
|||
|
James Stannage.? Some of us were lucky enough to know him better as a quiz opponent, having played against (and occasionally with) him in |
|||
|
our competitions with Withington League, as well as everyday pub quizzes throughout the local area over the last 30 years.? Dave was not |
|||
|
only a superb quiz player, but was also a lovely, warm-hearted person with an engaging, larger-than-life personality that ensured that any quiz |
|||
|
in which he took part would never be a dull affair. ?Numerous tributes to and memories of Dave from those who knew him can be seen on the |
|||
|
Withington League website.? Dave will greatly missed by his many friends in the Stockport League. |

Change of Venue |
|||
|
(updated 24 January) |
|||
|
For operational reasons the Flying Coach team has moved to a new venue (but will keep the same team name). ?They have gone just a few |
|||
|
hundred yards south east and now play home matches at The Rising Sun.? Their well-known new home is located almost underneath the |
|||
|
railway bridge (more correctly, the Norbury viaduct) at the junction of the A6 and the A523 (Macclesfield Road) in Hazel Grove. |

Question Setting |
|||
|
?(added 27 September) |
|||
|
Our question-setting guidelines have been revised to include guidance on question-setting for the newly-introduced inter-divisional matches. |
|||
|
They also include Microsoft Word templates for question papers for both league and knockout matches.? It would be really helpful and very |
|||
|
much appreciated if teams were to use these templates when setting questions, as this should reduce the (considerable) amount of time that |
|||
|
our Questions Tsars spend transcribing and re-formatting questions to make them ready for publication on the website. |
