The Quiz Masters - Rob & Ecke
|
One thing that the Pennine Tavern has been famous for over
the years is its excellent Monday Night Quiz. Who could forget
the days of Skel's Skampoo, Alans excellent picture rounds, and
those dodgy music quizzes by some guy who's name I can't remember.
Lately though the quiz has been more popular than ever (OK maybe
thats not quite true, but I'm allowed to be biased as I'm the
quiz master)

The quiz takes place each week on a Monday Night beginning
at 9pm.It normally consists of 40 general knowledge questions,
one or two music rounds (depending how much time I have
on a Sunday afternoon), a picture round and Dingbats section.
Currently the quiz is being run by Ecke (thats me!!) most
weeks and then once a month Rob Walmsley takes
the helm. Each week we get around 15 teams battling it out for our top prize.
The 28th July 2003 saw Ecke's 100th quiz at the Tav and was a night of fun embarrasment and celebration. To find out more about what went and how I won my dunces hat click here. This quiz was probably the busiest one the Tav has ever seen - we even had to bring up all the bar stools from the Roebuck so everyone could sit down. |
Ecke's 100th Quiz

On Monday
17th March 2003 we celebrated like the Irish and held a special St. Patricks
Day quiz hosted by both Ecke & Rob.
You would have thought that somebody
would have learnt that when me and
Rob and free wine get together crazy
things happen. We had loads of special
prizes to give away including Guiness
glasses & T-Shirts, and one way
to win them was to take part in my
spur of the moment Irish Jigging competion.
We had 10 people get up and give it
a go.. and these included both Cilla
and Spence. It had to be the funniest
thing I have seen in the pub for a
long time. Mick donated a free pint
to everyone who took part, and in
the end we couldn't pick an overall
winner so we gave them all prizes.
Pictures coming soon. |

prize)

In Feb 2002 we held Mikes "Pop The Balloon" competition. Each team
that took part in the quiz was given a silly hat or
object with a number on it. When they heard the song "99
Red Balloons" a number was drawn from the hat.
A member of the winning team then got the chance to pop
a balloon and win a prize.

The League Winners - A Big Hand For Jeremy Beadle
|
In summer 2001 we ran the pubs first Quiz
League, which took place over a period of 8 weeks with the
teams battling for the coverted prize of lots of free beer.
The competition was close with the Valiants taking an early
lead, only to be overtaken by the overall league winners
"A Big
Hand For Jeremy Beadle"

| One of the best quizzes of 2001 was the "End Of Year"
Quiz. There were lots of prizes up for grabs and special
treats for the jokers amongst the pub (or in other words the people that gave me that most
abuse). The winners by only one point were "On Me Tod and
The Boppers", closely followed by "When's It Due Ecke". I
think their team name was a comedy reference to the size of
my beer gut.
