The closest quiz ever?

27 March 2025

Packed Elm Tree last night. Over 80 quizzers and 17 teams. Lots of new and returning faces too. And a return for the damp dogs in the beer round.

Plus possibly the closest scoring quiz I have ever set. Top scores 32, 32, 32, 31, 31, 30, 29, 29 with even a three way tie-break for second last on 22 points.

Looking forward to next week already…

Cheers

Frank
