After missing two years due to Covid, our inter-club quiz night was back. Tradition states that the winners of the previous quiz had to set the questions, and eventually remembering it was ourselves, Ian Lowcock kindly stepped in as QuizMaster for the evening. Held once again at Boyce's Barrel in Colne.
Size teams took part in the seven round competition, starting by identifying the rivers that flowed through our local towns and villages, then moving on to rounds on 'The year 2023', 'Nature' and 'Pot Pouri'. We wisely decided to play our joker on the Pot Pouri round, earning us double points for 9/10 correct answers.
This brought us to half time, and pie time, with a traditional Pie and Pea supper.
Points at the half way stage running very close:
| Burnley & Pendle | 37 1/2 points |
| Blackburn & District 'A' Team | 37 points |
| Blackburn & District 'B' Team | 37 points |
| Pendle Forest | 37 1/2 points |
| Barlick Clarion | 23 points |
| Chopper Men | 26 points |
Supper over, and we continued with the final three rounds on 'Cycling', 'Yorkshire' and 'Lancashire' leaving the final points tally (in order) at:
| 1st Place | Blackburn & District 'A' Team | 64 points |
| 2nd Place | Blackburn & District 'B' Team | 63 points |
| 3rd Place | Burnley & Pendle | 53 1/2 points |
| Pendle Forest | 39 1/2 points | |
| Barlick Clarion | 38 points | |
| Chopper Men | 38 points |
Congratulations Blackburn & District, you get the dubious honour of setting next years questions.
