LightSpeed Individual Open Buzzer Quiz 2013
Fastermind, Amsterdam, The 2014 Program and Round Eight
Fastermind
Please, please, please enter the end of year Fastermind contest at Pontefract. For the full details click here, but needless to say I have started on the question sets and want as many people as possible to make as big a festive donation as we can to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), The best goddam bangs for bucks charity you could hope to be part of (read the stats)Trip to Amsterdam and 2014 Program
On Sunday 26th January I will be embarking on one of P&O's fabulous mini-cruises to Amsterdam and I would like to hold the 2014 QU12 championship on board. The competition was last held in 2008 when Mark Kerr beat Diane Hallagan, Pat Gibson and Kevin Ashman in a truly incredible competition. I am hoping to get a substantial cash prize for the winner plus trophies and the first qualification spot for the LSQ final. In 2014 the LightSpeed Quiz game will be qualifiers for the final at the end of the year, but more on that later.
2013 Round 8 Sunday October 27th: The Victoria Hotel, Saltaire

The Victoria is only two minutes walk from the Railway station, that has regular services from Leeds, Bradford and Skipton way. The thing about Saltaire is that it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site so is well worth the visit just to say you've been. Briefly a philanthropic industrialist built a model village for his workers with plenty of Park and churches. On the river Aire and the canal it is quite a beautiful place in the sunshine
Usual start time of 1 PM
Entry fees
£15 on the day - Don't panic! If you pay your entry in advance there is a £5 discount. In addition there will be a £5 return for a set of 60 bespoke questions (you might not use them all, in which case save the left-overs for next time). Easiest way is via paypal to my email steve_jm_kidd@yahoo.co.uk. Send a tenner, and it's a fiver back on the day for the question set.
Spectators are £2 per head.
All monies go into the prize fund
Trains run at 8 minutes past the hour from Leeds and takes less than 15 minutes, so the 12:08 is perfect. I might be on the one an hour before. It is not near a motorway so either way you have to get 'round Leeds or Bradford. But you're worth it.
