Southport and Formby Quiz League

Merseyside Quiz League (MQL) are delighted to announce that the MQL Buzzer quiz for 2025 will take place on Saturday 15th February at Hoylake Parade (the same venue the previous two events have been held).

Full details will be announced closer to the time but it is anticipated that teams will need to arrive for 10am and will be finishing around 7pm with a 90 minute break for lunch.

Entry will once again open to MQL teams first, this will happen on Monday 26th August at 7pm. For all other teams who’ve previously participated, registration will open on Monday 2nd September at 2pm. Should we still have spaces remaining after 9th September we will offer them out to anyone else.

Due to increased costs at our end, the entry fee will now be £100 per team with a 25% discount for any team whose squad includes 3 or more players who regularly play in MQL. All teams will play a guaranteed 8 matches and most will play 9.

To register please go to https://merseysidequizleagues.org.uk/buzzer-quiz.aspx and fill in your team details and we’ll be in touch with all teams as soon as registration has closed. Please do not register prior to the above dates or your entry will not be received.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask.

It was decided at the MQL Council Meeting this evening that out of respect for Her Majesty the Queen all MQL matches planned to take place on 19th September 2022, the day of her State Funeral, should be postponed.

For Liverpool teams, the questions that have been sent out to you should be kept safe and used for the re-scheduled game, this game should be played on the return fixture 9th January 2023.

Frank McFarlane, MQL chairman, sadly passed away aged 78 in the early hours of the morning of Saturday 12th February at the Royal Hospital in Liverpool. He was taken seriously ill just before Christmas and in spite of fighting hard, was unable to overcome the complications that arose from the emergency surgery

At nearly 16 years Frank was our longest serving Chairman and we will miss his calm and wise leadership. Our condolences to his wife Julia, family and friends in the Liverpool Quiz League.
