Fourteen teams of four people battled it out in six rounds of questions at Wistaston’s annual quiz for the Fred Lorimer Trophy.

Quiz-masters Peter and Christina Wainwright took charge of the event for the first time at Wistaston Memorial Hall, after Geoff and Sheila Armitage stepped down after more than 20 years.

The raffle was organised by Glenys White and Bill Heath for donated prizes. The raffle made £90.

Half-time refreshments were organised by Audrey Astbury, Eileen Bamber, Kathleen Conroy, Helen Heath and John Astbury.

The winning team was called ‘Four in a Corner’ which included Christopher White, Andrea Ollerhead, and Peter Jones.

They tied with ‘The Hall Stars’ with 39 out of 60 points. In the tie-break, ‘Four in a Corner’ were victorious by 2-1.

The Fred Lorimer Trophy was presented to the winning team by John Cooke, president of the hall’s management committee.

The Dingbats quiz was won by a team called ‘Joyce’s Choice’.

Event organiser John White said: “We had another enjoyable and successful community event, which raised £160 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.
