We now have all but a few of the Grand Prix scores in, and checking with the one venue yet to declare we think we can go ahead and publish top line results. While some new names may appear in the top 20, we’re not expecting the top 10, or the medals positions for the genres to change (“famous last w...

We have a total of 10 UK venues listed on Quest for the 7 July Quest Grand Prix. Some of the venues are likely to fill up so, as Fred Pontin would say, "Book early!" Booking Link: Quest Plan B - Saturday's Quizzes Obviously, many pubs/clubs are likely to fill up and we know lots of you wil...

I am running a UK proctored venue for this Sunday's Mindsweep quiz (having happily been contacted by KQA about it). The plan is to meet-up at 12.00 noon for a 12.15pm start at the Rolleston Club, in Rolleston on Dove, near Burton on Trent (the corner snooker room has been reserved for said purpose)....

We're shocked and saddened to learn of the death of former IQA World Quizzing Champion, Vikram Joshi, in Mumbai earlier today. He was being cared for by his mother when he passed. On behalf of fellow quizzers in the UK, and IQA quizzers around the world, we send our condolences and deepest sympathy ...

For as long as I knew him - and that was well over a decade - he lived in Kent, but was originally from Brighton and spent much of his childhood in Hounsl...

We seem to have just about all of the Grand Prix scores in and these are now up online . I think only Perth may be missing. We’ll add them as soon as they are in, and amend any of what follows as necessary. So, a very accessible set from Eric Kilby and Keith Andrew - thanks guys - saw 41 quizzers to...

News came through on Sunday that the quiz community has lost another of its members - Neil Phillips (from the Kettering area), a long time attendee of GPs sadly passed-away last Thursday. He had been taken ill about 10 days previously and his death is a great shock to us. He will be very sadly misse...

A week tomorrow, Sunday 10 December is the KQA's Mahaquizzer, which we in England have taken part in since the year dot (well, about 2006 or thereabouts). I have found us a nice venue not far from the centre of Burton on Trent if anyone fancies joining me. There will be a modest fee levied to partic...
