I have been a participant, both casual and ardent, in general knowledge quiz competitions for over 15 years. Armed with this experience I have concluded there is a need to embrace all participants under one roof.

I have decided to form the National Quiz Participants Federation. If any of your readers know the address of a league secretary or chairman I would be grateful if they pass on my address so they can contact me.

This will appeal to all quiz enthusiasts, whatever their forte or standard, be it general knowledge leagues, sport quiz leagues, pop trivia nights, table quizzes in their own local pub or club or even radio and TV. show quizzers.

The aim of the Federation will be twofold. To provide quiz questions (checked as accurate and graded) to any standard at a nominal fee. I will also produce a monthly newsletter packed with quizzes, puzzles and information regarding competitions.

Everyone will know what is happening in the quiz world. Rest assured that whether you consider yourself a quiz enthusiast or a casual player the NQPF will have something for you.
