It is half way between Huddersfield and Wakefield just off the A642, near as dash it 3 km due north of Emley Moor transmitter, the tallest man made free standing structure in the British Isles, 15 minutes from junctions 39 or 40 from the M1 or junction 25 of the M62.

On a day to day basis you don't notice your kids growing up, but suddenly you notice that they are different from a year ago. Likewise QU12. For the inaugral game in my home town of Pontefract last year I was ringing round two days before asking if people wanted to play. Unfortunately for aspiring contestants who have not yet booked in for the Grange, Grange Moor on March 16th, their are no places left in the Pop Quiz, but as of Sunday 9th there is a vacancy for one team (I am hoping Wharfedale will bring a threesome, but whatever. .). There will be a Sport Relief Mile quiz around the village for anybody who fancies some fresh air.

The Teams are:

Next Month's event, Round 2: Midlands and South West

The plum location for this years Team and Music events is at Stratford-upon-Avon, on Sunday April 20th in a pub overlooking the river right next door to the Royal Shakespeare. I have never visited the town before, but I can't wait. Only one team in so far, the South Cheshire Quiz League, please, contact me if you want one of the three remaining team places or to play in the Music round (or both, of course).

Thanks

The world is a beautiful place: make it better
