For today’s dig back into our archives, I’ve chosen this Ready Made Quiz from ‘Quizmaster I’. Published in August 2020, it contains fifty questions we’ve written this year and will give you plenty to work with when you’re planning your next event.
It’s even written in a way which will allow you to play-along yourself, too!
I’m happy to say that our live quiz will return on Tuesday 3rd November.
It was great fun to host through Spring and we’ll be back through Autumn and Winter.
As always, it’s free to take part.
It lasts about an hour and you can take part from the comfort of your own home.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for joining details.
Thank you for taking the time to subscribe.
If you would like to get in touch, please leave a comment.
I’ll be back next week.
Many thanks,
