The Hall Stars l-r: John Lomax, Brian Edge, Sheena Sambrook, John White, Alan Brown

Fifteen teams battled it out to be the brainboxes of Wistaston at the village annual quiz event.

The teams of four took part in six rounds of 10 questions as they competed for the Wistaston Annual Hall Quiz Fred Lorimer trophy.

Quizmaster Geoff Armitage helped the popular event run smoothly, assisted by markers Sheila Armitage, Meurig Jones and scorer Glenys White

A raffle was organised by Herbert Locke MBE for donated prizes, and half-time refreshments were organised by Audrey Astbury, Olive Williams, Sue Brown, Margaret Beresford, Kathleen Conroy and John Astbury.

The winning team was called ‘The Hall Stars’ with an excellent 52 out of 60 points.

The team was captained by Brian Edge with John Lomax, Alan Brown and John White.

They were presented with the prestigious Fred Lorimer trophy by Wistonian of the Year Sheena Sambrook.

In second place were last year’s champions ‘4 in the corner’ with 47 points. ‘The Scrabblers’ came third with 46 points.

Event organiser John White said: “We had another enjoyable and successful community event, which raised £152 for hall funds.

“We thank everybody who supported this annual event for the Fred Lorimer trophy.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
