Great happenings at Pub quizzes

The last few months and the coming few months are going to have some of the best pub quizzes have been held . Everybody loves these great occasions where they can get together and go head to head with each other to see who has the best general knowledge. I mean we have seen people who are walking encyclopaedia. Means we saw people people know about a great range of things starting fro food and drinks, through art and entertainment to the human body.

A number of great pub quizzes have taken place this month. There was the Derbyshire Pub Quiz League that went into its 10th week after a recent venue change. The competitors are literally going head to head. It is not something to be missed. Maybe you can try it on any of the remaining 9 weeks. This pub quiz league has in fact been running over three decades. An achievement to say the least.

As far as pub quiz leagues go the Macclesfield Pub Quiz League is not to be missed either. Their questions about the human body and sports was nerve racking to say the least. This was the 13 of this month.

Last month Great Big Politics Pub Quiz was also very competitive but the Unionists won the challenge. The Journalistics also played quite great. Among other great event was the TVC Church Pub Quiz at The Falcon in Hilton the 4th of this month.

Last and but not the least was A Fashionable Pub Quiz hosted by Vodafone at the Shoreditch house.All great happenings.
