Wirral Quiz League

Channel 4 have announced that 15 to 1 is coming back with a second series.  If you would like to apply you can ask for an application form by sending an email to 15to1apps@remedyproductions.tv

In each show fifteen contestants go head to head answering some of TV’s toughest general knowledge questions. It’s a gripping game of quick fire answers where the winner is simply the last person standing.

Ultimately more than just a game of survival, Fifteen to One is a battle of supreme knowledge with the fifteen highest scoring winners returning for the end of the series final where they’ll compete for the title of ‘Grand Champion’.

The Grand Champion of the series wins up to £40,000!

A Quiz Event will be held at Rochdale Town Hall on Saturday 9th August starting at 11:30.

There will be a short individual written quiz in the morning, and in the afternoon there will be a variety of team quizzes and buzzer quizzes.

Because we have made a very good deal with the Town Hall, there will only be a nominal fee of £5, with any surplus going to charity. The Town Hall canteen should be open for hot and cold drinks and hot and cold food.

If you have any questions or suggestions for the afternoon's quizzing, please do not hesitate to get in touch. However, there are some details on Facebook here:   Quiz in the North

Eggheads is a game in which 5 members of the public face general knowledge goliaths and try to beat them for a cash prize.  When the Eggheads win, the money rolls over to the next show. Often a huge amount of money can be at stake. 

Each team will consist of 5 team members and 1 standby, so they need teams of at least 6 people. They are holding nationwide auditions over the coming weeks and months and are keen to find teams from all over the UK.
