Just 10 teams will compete
this season.
Sadly The Men They Couldn't Hang have had to
drop out. Losing Dave was a massive blow
and now other members of the team have moved
away from the area. You'll be pleased to
know, however, that Graham will still be
quizzing since the Charas snaffled him on a free
transfer in 'the Summer Quiz Window'. We
have tried to recruit a new team by advertising
around Didsbury but nothing has materialised so
we play with 10. Should any new team turn
up at the last minute it will still be possible
to shoehorn them in right up to the start of
October.
-
Each week of the league competition (apart from
January 10th and April 11th) there will be 4
matches with one team setting and one team
sitting out. On January 10th and April
11th there will be 5 matches and we will invite
a guest setter to create the papers for these
weeks.
-
There are no changes of name or venue
amongst the 10 competing teams - just a few
minor contact details changes which you will
find on the 'Team Details' page. Cup and
WIST competitions will proceed as in the past
with no change to the usual formats other than
the renaming of the 'A-Trophy' as the 'Lowly
Grail'.
-
The first League matches will be played on
Wednesday October 4th with The Opsimaths
setting and The Prodigals sitting out. The
traditional pre-season Friendly against the
Stockport League will take place at the Albert
Club on Thursday September 28th (8.30
start). Please come along and join in.
It's 6-a-side but substitutions at half time
mean that everybody should get a match.

This is WithQuiz's 40th season so (as we
agreed at the close of last season) we are going
to hold a special evening to celebrate.
You will find Wednesday December 20th earmarked
for this purpose on the Fixtures page but this
is just a provisional date at present. A
few of us are going to get together early in
October to come up with some plans. If the
date of the celebration evening needs to change
I can easily shuffle the fixtures around to
suit. A key feature of the special evening
will be to get as many former WithQuizzers back
with us as possible so do please start to put
the word about.

The fixtures page is up-to-date for the coming
season so you can update your diaries.
Many thanks once again to Roddy for compiling
the fixtures.
