Quizzes are held in the function centre at The Staddy and are light hearted affairs, when we try not to take ourselves too seriously. They run from 7.30 until 9.30 pm and there is a small charge for each person in order to pay for room hire. Drinks, including coffee, are available from the bar and of course since it is a pub and a business it helps if members purchase a drink, though of course it is not compulsory.

We aim for teams of four but where numbers don't quite work out conveniently, then we usually ask people to shuffle around a little to make up teams. Don't worry, if you turn up alone, you won't be a team of one!

It is of course a group activity, so although the group leader will always ensure that questions are available at each get together, members are encouraged to have a go at setting the questions themselves on any evening. There are seven rounds of ten questions in each round and topics are mixed. Several people have had a go at setting the questions for an evening, sometimes teaming up with another member, and of course then being able to get their revenge on a previous quizmaster !

We have 37 members enrolled in the group but of course on any night, not everyone turns up, so we still have space for a few more if you wish to come along.

February 2026
Our first Quiz of 2026 took place on Wednesday 14 January. We had a very good attendance from “The Faithful” despite the rival television attraction of “The Traitors”.

Presenting the Quiz for us was Paul Lockett who tested our loyalties and our memories to the full with his probing mix of general knowledge and topical questions.

Our next Quiz will be on Wednesday 11 February 19:30 at The Staddy when our presenters will be Sally and Bob Brennan. Admission will be £1 per member. New members are always welcome. Just come along and join us and we’ll find you a team to join.

December 2025
At our meeting on Wednesday 12 November we had a very good turnout on a dark autumn night with eight full teams.
Many thanks from all of us to Sally Millmore for setting and delivering our questions on a wide selection of themes.

Leading our Quiz on Wednesday, 10th December, 19:30 at The Staddy, will be Gloria Coules and Wendy Whiteman.
That night will also be the occasion of our Christmas Buffet with around 30 members signed up.

November 2025
At our meeting on Wednesday 8 October we were pleased to welcome four new members and a good number of regulars.
Another closely fought contest resulted in a second consecutive tie-break. The tie-break question was “How many islands are there in The Philippines?” - nearest answer wins (ANSWER BELOW).

Many thanks from us all to Gerald Coules for presenting a varied and entertaining set of questions.

We started taking bookings for our Christmas Buffet at The Staddy on Wednesday, 10th December at 19:30. £10.00 per head.

We look forward to our questions at our next quiz on Wednesday, 12th November at 19:30 being presented by Sally Millmore. Admission will be £2.00 per contestant. New members are very welcome to come along and join in with one of our teams.

TIE-BREAKER ANSWER: 7,641 islands in The Philippines.

Tribute
We begin with a tribute to Bob Lee. Sadly, Bob passed away recently after a brave struggle with illness. Bob was our long-standing Quiz Leader. Not only did Bob organise the group but he set the questions for the majority of our quizzes.

We will all remember Bob not only for his leadership and his huge variety of questions but also for his humour and his jokes. Bob will be greatly missed by us all.

June 2025

The fine weather and early summer holidays meant some members preferred to be away relaxing in May rather than testing their brainpower in a quiz. Can't understand it really, how can exotic places in other parts of the world compete with Plymstock on a sunny Wednesday evening?

Although our numbers were reduced a little, they were boosted by three new members joining us and, I hope, enjoying the evening. For this May quiz Sally set the questions and acted as quizmaster, which was very enjoyable.
