January Quiz Results

Many thanks to all members of the thirteen teams who took part in last evenings quiz.  The results (see below) seem to suggest that some of the rounds were far too easy, so our apologies if that upset the balance of thinking time and drinking time necessary to complete the quiz.

Thanks everyone for participating in what turned out to be quite a tricky quiz. We hope you enjoyed taking part as much as we did putting it together.

Round 1 proved to be the lowest scoring - how quickly the big news stories of only a few months ago fade from the memory! Round 3 had the best scores - you know your trees.

Thank you to The Stots team for an excellent quiz. Here is their post-match report and the results table.

Your host tonight: Val

Well done everyone, and thank you for taking part in the November quiz.  I hope you found it enjoyable - even if a couple of the rounds were more difficult than others!

Thank you to everybody who participated in the October LALG online quiz. Congratulations to the Smashing Pumpkins who came first with 90 points  In second place, with 89 points were 60% Zoom and Gloom, (who needs the other 40%?!) and following very closely behind on 88 points were All the Ws. Well done!
