As soon as September dawned, someone, somewhere, somehow pushed the button marked “autumn” and the weather went even further to pot than it had managed to travel hitherto this summer…
The only saving grace is that the fancies of young and old men and women now turn to thoughts of answering (or not) daft questions on a Tuesday night, because, God knows, there is nothing on the telly.
Macclesfield Quiz League returns for what I reckon is the 29th or 30th season (I really must find out) and as per our decision at Finals Night, we will make an earlier start this year. The first business is, as ever, the AGM, where we will play the Plate Final to boot.
The date for the AGM will be Tuesday the 22nd of September at the Weaver, Thornton Square, Macclesfield.
This year the Plate Final is between the Castle and the George & Dragon. Questions are in hand. Watch this space for an update…
We will try to play the first game of the new season on Tuesday the 6th of October 2009, by hook or by crook.

The Final Scores...
Many thanks to all who attended the Finals Night on Tuesday.
There was an excellent turn-out, the Cup Final was a finely contested affair and the butties were very welcome too. I have only a small number of trophies left in my possession; I will contact the winners separately.
In the Cup, the Ox-fford 'C' reversed last year's result by beating the Dolphin 117 - 99.
Congratulations to all concerned. Thanks also to our very own Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee, otherwise known as Rick Davis and Allan Sherratt, for asking the questions and scoring respectively – much appreciated, your fine efforts added to the night’s entertainment as always.
Thanks also to the Weaver - a great venue and the hospitality - and sandwiches - were very well appreciated.
The League Champions also deserve much credit, namely the Ox-fford (A League), Puss Heads (B League) and Albion (C League). Well done indeed and see below for details and pictures...
The final trophy of this year will be settled at the start of next season as usual.
The Plate Final will be: - Castle v George & Dragon
This game will be played at the AGM before the start of next season, sometime in September, date and place to be confirmed, although the place will undoubtedly be the Weaver!
If I don’t see you before we start again, have a great summer and I will be in touch…
Regards,
MW
