QLL National Team Quiz 8th June

There will be a team representing MQL in the competition, places in it are still available!! If you would like to go along then please let Cliff Houghton know and also register your interest on the QLL website (link below). It really is a very full day of quizzing in an excellent Fuller's pub which opens exclusively for the use of quizzers on the day. There is room in the pub to hold at least six quizzes simultaneously so you're never left out and as the teams are selected at random you may get the opportunity to play alongside or against some of the best quizzers in the country.
