Would anyone be interested in attending a pub quiz on a fairly regular basis?
Pub quiz is something from the UK that I miss incredibly and I woiuld like to form a team and meet often to participate. See below for definition and possible venues and days/times.
Note that though there are cash prizes and it's competitive, the emphasis is on having fun and taking part. I am no walking encyclopedia, there are huge gaps in my general knowledge but I love the atmosphere and the chance for a bit of brain exercise!

Generally I would be very interested in pub quizzes. But if most of the question are about traditions of the Commonwealth or the preparation of bar drinks, I would not be a support for our team. However, if most of the questions are about real general knowledge I could perhaps know the one or other question and contribute to have fun and win the prize.

Simon, where is 4th comment? 
I'm playing in Geneva's Pickwicks sometimes and there are very different questions, from phobias to alphabets. depends on day, could be very tricky music or sport thing, or like "adv slogans in UK".
preparation of drinks is fun anyway :-)

Hi all,
New to the site and thought I'd put my 2 pennies into this thread.
I understand there is a weekly quiz night at McGee's in Wiedikon, Zurich - I think it's every Tuesday. Some colleagues of mine were thinking of entering a team in the near future.
I'm not sure of the standard or how successful it is, but could be worth a look.
Cheers
Paul

I really like Pub quizzes. So far I've been to the one at Pickwick's Pub just once. I really miss the pub quizzes in the UK, which are a regular feature there and much more interesting. Well, you can count me in next time you plan on a team. Cheers,Sreyashi.

WHAT I'm doing with you, Trev?
sorry))))) just sounds funny
Actually the one in McGee's (at least the one run by a friend of mine) is once a month. Next one is on March 22nd. The goal is to eventually be the first Tuesday of each month.
There's a wide range of questions. It's $5/person to enter which is given away at the end of the quiz as cash prizes to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams. There's also something special for the last place team. :-)

It was meant to sound funny .. 
I've also been once to Oliver Twist and it was a great time. I think, at the end, it depends a lot on your team and I've been on teams with random people I just met and always had a good time. So Freddie, Simon, Sreyashi, and whoever, let me know. I am definitely interested in regular quizzing as well.

Great! I will put some events in, when the quizzes are, I will RSVP when I can make it, please do the same and we'll be quizzing soon.
Personally I'm a bit tied up for the next two weeks but will schedule some for afterwards.
Thanks
Fred
