When Alan Bellis was quizmaster at the second Kintail meet, just about question was about Wales!!

Strangely enough we came third and won a bottle of Glenmorangie.

Yep, "Quiz-gate" it is, but I'm not sure that in itself is a rich vein for tricky questions Scoob ...

However, to be fair, I'm noting all the question requests with interest, and all bribes and offers will be considered.
And bear in mind I was born in Wales too ...

Those of you who watched the weirdos winning University Challenge final tonight know what level to expect ....!!

Was simply responding to a request. I really have no objection to whatever anyone else decides.
All I know is I've got 4 nights booked at Inchnadamph, I'm going to enjoy it, and that includes the quiz, whichever side I'm on!!


I reckon you'll end up quizmaster on this one Jonathan...and I'm sure you'll make an excellent job of it

Based on our conversation in bunkroom 5 at Gairloch I'm gonna get brushing up on canines, the Welsh rugby team and common ailments :wink:

There was a point to be made here regards tradition and I think it was worthwhile bringing it up.......there is no such thing as rules regards meets but some things have become intrinsic, simply because they work!!

I just feel that as the meets roll on certain wee things should always be given consideration

And like I said, new ideas are good and I'm especially impressed with your proposal for Border Terrier heckler deterence* :clap: :clap: .....Scoob is terrified of dugs!

Roll on the meet......now if Hugh can Just arrange good weather for us that'll be ideal

*that's either a Border Terrier or the biggest Yorkie I've ever seen


She's a rather shaggy Border Terrier. Soft as shite really (unless you're a rabbit), just don't give her an empty tonic bottle to play with ....

Put myself and Stevie V down for camping nearby....... as near as possible staggering distance that is. Don't want him wandering off at midnight and having to send out a search party after all !!!

Please put me down for both nights. How do I send payment? To yourself or to the hostel? Just 50 miles away from home and just over an hour to drive there, how could I miss it?
