The Big Weekend Quiz

Resident quizmaster Noel Welch didn’t come to play. Put your thinking cap on for our bumper end-of-year quiz

“A Good quiz setter will use various sources for what readers are likely to know and what is likely to flummox them. Researching national capitals, Olympic medal winners, longest rivers and Cup final champions are just some of the categories for setting intriguing questions.”
