Barry McNorton rounded off our season in style, presenting a perfectly pitched quiz as well as all the season's gongs - before bidding us farewell for his well-earned retirement in East Anglia. Thanks, Barry! |
End of Season Friendly Quiz Winners: Bards Runners Up: Albert Third place: Opsimaths |

There was a full house at the Albert Club to mark the end of another WithQuiz season with the traditional friendly quiz and trophy presentation evening. The only counter attraction was the League One Play Off semi final second leg at Edgeley Park with County pitted (unsuccessfully as it happens) against Leyton Orient. So, Prodigal John and Chara Bernard were missing but most other WithQuizzers were in the room. Hard luck County!

The warmth shown for Barry, one of the most popular WithQuizzers we have spent our Wednesday evenings with over many years, was palpable - and if I'm not mistaken there was a tear in Barry's eye by the end of the evening. Barry's off to retirement in Norfolk and quite a few of the questions he had set referenced Norfolk. The evening's quiz consisted of 6 read out rounds, each of 8 questions along with a picture round. It was a really tight competition with it seeming that the Opsimaths might nick it - but in the final round the Bards and Albert came crashing through to end up respectively first and second leaving the Opsis back in third slot. As for the season's honours the stand-out performance has to be that of The Prodigals who stormed the Barry Whitehead League Shield with just a single defeat, capped it with the WIST Champions Cup and then showered their success with Pop-Tarts (see below) |
To savour the atmosphere have a look at the photos of the event here for which many thanks to Howell are due. Thus endeth WithQuiz's 46th season. In the meantime enjoy your summer and let's get back together again in late September to do it all again for ... WithQuiz 47 |
