New Season 2010 - 2011

As the leaves begin to pile up and bury the last of the fractured dreams of summer, what better than to contemplate a winter of asking (and occasionally answering) daft questions on an ad hoc basis in an ever changing kaleidoscope of locations…it can only mean the return of the Macclesfield Quiz League.

The League AGM and Plate Final took place last Tuesday the 21st of September 2010 at the Weaver on Thornton Square, Macclesfield. The Plate Final was a finely contested affair between the Harrington Academicals and the Waters Green Phoenix, the Harrington Academicals emerging victorious 90-78.

The game was expertly “question mastered” as always by Rick Davis and I would like to thank him along with Allan Sherratt from the Church House Bollington who scored etc. Thanks also to Dave McGuinness and Matt Eagles for compiling the questions.

We will therefore start and play the first round of League games on
Tuesday the 5th of October. This will allow us to play exactly half the League games before Christmas and half afterwards, as we did last year.

You can read all about it here first...or occasionally second. Miss it at your peril!

And finally...

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 Dolphin reversed last year's result by beating the Ox-fford 'C' 106 - 97.

Congratulations to all concerned.

Thanks also to our very own George Best and Rodney Marsh, 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.

See below for all the final information you can shake a stick at, if you are a stick shaking sort of person...

The final trophy of this year will be settled at the start of next season as usual. The Plate Final will be:

Waters Green Phoenix v Harrington Academicals


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 see you in the autumn when we will do it all again.

Regards,

MW
