The opening event of the 50th season was held at Aughton Institute on Wednesday. We welcomed officers of MQL together with representatives of the other leagues. We celebrated the success of the Ormskirk President’s Trophy team, both historically and in recent seasons, by watching three matches between the present team, past players and a team of TV/radio winners including ‘Egghead’ Barry Simmons.
We also looked at how the league was founded in 1970 and introduced five of the six current players who first competed in 1973 or earlier. We concluded with memories of two men without whose efforts we would not have enjoyed all these years of playing quiz, Peter Richardson and Norman Green.
Photos of the teams and the long serving players are here.
