New Season Fixtures

07/11/14/14

At last, fixtures for the Monday 10^th start can be found here.

Unfortunately I made a mistake with the league structure at the AGM and still have had to move Cricketers BL to Div 2 because of numbers. Sorry guys.

Sorry about the delay and lack of communication - I have been busy, away and unwell since the AGM.

I shall post the AGM minutes and reset this website for the new season this weekend.

After consideration I have decided that the proposed knock-out to fill some of the rest days is not workable.

Any resting teams wanting to play a friendly instead, please ask me and I can have a copy of the questions provided.

As usual I would be grateful if captains would acknowledge they are in receipt of the fixtures and that all is in order for Monday. Thanks!

AGM 2014

19/10/14

Please find the agenda here for anyone who is interested.

Unfortunately two teams are dropping out.

New Season 2014

14/10/14

As usual I am totally off the pace at this time of year, apologies etc. etc!!

Short notice I know, but the AGM will be at the Albion on 20^th October at 8:30pm.

Agenda to follow soon. Basically subs unchanged at £65 total and match dates proposed as 10/11-08/12 and 05/01-02/03 assuming 13-16 teams.

I have had no news of anyone dropping out nor of any teams wanting to join.

I have had an inquiry from a lady very keen to find a team, if anyone is down a player and would like to consider her please get in touch.

I would appreciate if if all teams could let me know whether they will be playing this year ASAP. Thanks.

Hope to see many of you on the 20^th.

BFQ 2014

28/03/14

Trophy Presentation and BFQ this year will be at the Bat & Ball on the 7^th April. Proceedings start at 8.30 as usual - please try and get along in good time to get a drink & find a seat!

As always the BFQ is open to anyone concerned with the quiz - substitutes, questionmasters, landlords - all are welcome.

Also as usual I would ask everyone to let me know how many people are likely to be attending from each team, even if you are not coming. This is very important so Kevin has some idea how many to cater for. Thanks.

Hope to see all of you on the 7^th.

Final Week Questions

27/03/14

I have spoken to Phil, our question setter, about the reused questions in the final quiz. He is totally aghast at what happened, and cannot understand it since he supposedly had a system in place to prevent re-use of questions within a certain time, which has always worked OK for the various quizzes he sets. Many apologies from Derby and there will be extra safeguards next year should he still be setting our questions.

Final Placings

10/03/14

Well that’s it folks, the final results for this season give us:

Div 1

Bat & Ball A	Winners
Jolly Farmer	Runners-up

Div 2

Albion B	Winners
Frensham RBL C	Runners-up

Unfortunately there was the issue of the recycled questions.

This has been noted. Words will be had.

Final thing for this year is of course the Trophy Presentation and Big Friendly Quiz, which this time will be at the Bat & Ball.

Further details when I have confirmed things with the pub.

Final Round

03/03/14

Results this week mean that Bat & Ball A will win Div 1, with Jolly Farmer second. Div 2 is between Albion B and Frensham RBL C, who are neck and neck going into the final round, where they actually play each other!

Oops! Typo…

28/02/14

Sorry but there was a typo in the results I posted this week. Albion B score 64 not 46, tables have been amended.

No Results in Next Week’s Quiz

10/02/14

As previously mentioned, Phil our question setter is away this week, hence the double sets of questions.

As such this week’s results obviously won’t be in the question packets next week.

Double Posting and Late Subs

04/02/14

Please note that the question setter will be sending out TWO weeks worth of questions this week, for the 10^th & 17^th of February.

They will be clearly marked as to which week is which, but could you please ensure that your pub is aware of the situation and keeps any questions for the 17^th safe.

Also could I remind teams that any outstanding subs are due and I would appreciate a cheque as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Late Results

14/01/14

Sorry the results weren’t up last night but there has been a spate of late results recently.

PLEASE remember to send the results ASAP! It’s easiest to text straight after the main match.

Thanks!

Revised Fixtures Available

08/01/14

The revised Fixture List is now available.

Week 6 POSTPONED

06/01/14

As I hope everyone now is aware, I have had to postpone our first round of the year.

Phil, who sets the questions, was unexpectedly admitted into hospital over New Year and did not get the questions posted in time.

All fixtures will now be moved on by 1 week, i.e. fixtures will still be played in the published order.

This course of action is to avoid undesirable consequences of simply moving fixtures to the end of the year, such as on a previous occasion when one team had to sit out two rest weeks at the very end.

I shall publish new fixtures ASAP and distribute to pubs / captains as required.

Week 4 Results After All

25/11/13

Hooray! I’ve been able to do the results after all!

Week 4 Results

18/11/13

Week 4 (25^th November) I will be away on business in Madrid.

Please can I ask everyone to TEXT me their results as soon as the main quiz is complete (it won’t cost any more to text me abroad).

Also note I probably won’t be able to do the league tables or update the website until I get back on Friday.

Thanks!

New Season

29/10/13

Hi Folks, as usual it’s all a last-minute rush for me!

Here at last are the Fixtures and AGM minutes.

Matches start (for most teams) on 4^th November as planned. I will be getting the printed details and registration stuff out to the pubs / captains ASAP, but for now see the Fixtures Page for your first match.

Good Quizzing on Monday everyone!
