UPDATES

13 JUN: New quiz - 'A Purple Quiz' - added to Puzzles and Quizzles. Welcome to our New Zealand visitor.

1 JUN: Sits. Vac. Page updated. Welcome to our Finnish visitor.

27 MAY: Photos added to the Finals Night page. 'Wish you were here... A Holiday Quiz' added to the Puzzles and Quizzles page. Don't forget the A.G.M. - Just sayin'... ;-)

5 MAY: A new quiz - 'A Blue Quiz' - added to Puzzles and Quizzles.

30 APR: Reminder that all teams need to send a representative to the A.G.M. - Monday, 9th June, R.A.F.A. Club - in order to register for the 2008-09 season. Welcome to our visitor from Romania.

29 APR: Results from Finals Night added.

25 APR: The Team Knock-out Quarter Final and Semi Final results added. Welcome to our visitors from the Russian Federation, Italy and the European Union.

20 APR: All results now added and final league tables produced. Apologies for the delay here. They would have been up sooner had Prue and Harry not had to go on a fruitless search for some missing results cards in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet, stuck upside-down in a disused toilet with a sign on the door saying 'BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD.' On the plus side, Prue found a post card dated 11/12/07, so not a totally wasted effort then... ;-)

18 APR: [ Later the same day...] « Le Crunch » Harry's Page updated with his report on the match between Surplus Rowdies and Swats. Welcome to our Hungarian visitor.

18 APR: 00:27 hrs. League: End of Season Report added to Harry's Page. 'Le Crunch' - a further report - will follow tomorrow - erm, make that later today! (D.V.)

9 APR: We've had 10,000 hits to our website in our first season! Thank you all for your support!

We have also begun a new venture by adding a 'Sits. Vac. page. It's always useful to have a fifth - or even sixth - team member for those times when someone's ill or working shifts - or when you can't even manage three players and receive a two point penalty. Hopefully this will enable teams and players to get in touch to their mutual advantage. Someone give Magic Robots a nudge... ;-)

As ever, there are entry forms in the front of your Fixture List booklets for the Individual Knockout Competitions and the Pairs Handicap Competition. If you want to enter, don't forget to fill in the form(s) and hand them in at your first match when subs are being collected. The entry fee is £2.00 per person per event.

Subs are £32.00 per team for the year. They will be collected in October at your first game of the season. Alternatively, subs can be paid by cheque in advance. If you chose this option, cheques should be made payable to Grimsby & District Quiz League and sent to the League Secretary, whose address is at the front of your Fixture List booklet.

Table Quizzes will be held on the 4^th December, 2007 and the 18^th March, 2008. The venue for both will be the Bird's Eye Club in Ladysmith Road, which has plenty of off-road parking. The Questions will be set by Rafa Dipsos and Rasen respectively.

N.B. I don't put personal information like phone numbers or addresses on this site as it is open to anybody to visit and there are some 'funny' people out there...
