Wirral Quiz League

12 Yard Productions are looking for vibrant and diverse teams to take part in the 15^th series of the popular BBC2 quiz show Eggheads.

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.

You can download a copy of the application form from here:

If you need any more information, please contact them by email on: bryce.hart@12yard.com or by phone on 0141 427 2746

It doesn’t matter if people are not part of an existing team, they could consider creating one with work colleagues, friends or even family to compete for the cash prize!

The RNA Club (venue for 2D or N2D and Roundheads) has suddenly closed down, giving no notice to either team.

Roundheads have arranged to play their home games at Wirral Liberal Club in Shrewsbury Road, Birkenhead and 2D are still trying to relocate.

Secretaries of both teams will contact their opponents with details of their alternative arrangements in good time.

12 Yard Productions, makers of "Eggheads", are looking for contestants for a new BBC2 show

The programme is a general knowledge quiz where contestants attempt to win thousands of pounds. Standing in their way is the fearsomely competitive Egghead, CJ de Mooi. Can you outsmart a know-it-all quizzer and scoop the jackpot?

If you would like to apply, you can download an application form from here, and also see a flyer here.

ITV are looking for teams of 3 to compete against a team of 3 celebrities based on their knowledge of television, with the chance to win a prize of £3,000.

• The Brown Horse Neston have changed both name and venue - They will now be known as The Brewer’s Arms Neston, playing in the pub of the same name in Park Street, Neston.
• Extras have returned to their old venue of New Brighton Cricket Club in Rake Lane, Wallasey.
• Gladly Stoned will now be playing their home matches on Tuesday evenings.
• Our Ladys' A and B teams have amalgamated and will be playing as Our Lady's Parish Centre.
• The Queens have decided to resign from the league.
• ND Squared have changed their name and will now be appearing as 2D or N2D.

As no new teams have joined the league despite several enquiries, it has been decided that each division should contain 14 teams for next season.  Bebington Hockey and Barbarians have been promoted to Division 1, with Roundheads and Hoylake LTC dropping to Division 2.

At the end of the season, congratulations go out to Gladly Stoned, who pipped Oxton Conservatives to the First Division title, and to Bebington Hockey who held off a late challenge from Barbarians to win the Second Division Title.

Roundheads and Hoylake LTC have been relegated to Division 2.

After some fine quizzing on Wednesday 20th March 2013 at The Sands Hotel, Ainsdale, the places for the MIMIR final have been decided.
 
The four players, who will contest the final on May 15 at St Francis de Salles Parochial Club in Walton, are Pat Gibson (Ormskirk), Darren Martin (Ormskirk), Ray Oakes (Ormskirk) and DAG Griffiths (Southport & Formby)
 

I realised quite recently that the I had made some errors in the results for the teams in the First Division.  These were caused by a combination of my short-sightedness and fat fingers!  The errors meant that my version of the league table did not quite correspond to that provided by the results secretary.Luckily, the teams involved at the top and bottom of the table were not overly affected by the errors.

The mistakes have now been rectified, both on the results pages and on the individual team pages.
