Warrington Quiz League

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?

On 16th August Colin Foster of Alford Academicals won his first heat of Mastermind by answering questions on British Olympic Medallists (1960-2008).   His semi-final will be filmed soon, but is unlikely to be shown until early next year.

The Quiz League of London will be running a buzzer quiz tournament on Saturday 21 September.  Registration opens on their website on 13 May.

Judging by last year, the available places are likely to be taken up quickly.

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 Sales Parochial Club in Walton, are Pat Gibson (Ormskirk), Darren Martin (Ormskirk), Ray Oakes (Ormskirk) and DAG Griffiths (Southport & Formby)
