Master of the Quiz
A sad tinge to tonight’s quiz. Don Wilson sadly passed away on 14 August 2021 after a long illness.
Don was an impressively literate man with many interests including quizzes. He was moreover the quizmaster at the Elm Tree for many years. He established the quiz’s format, including the Word Round and Book of the Moment, and its challenging standard of questions.
A tribute quiz to Don will follow in due course.
