Broomhill and Brass 27th.January 17

Some recent quizzes including a Picture round and Handout.
It seems that apart from a few members posting their quizzes, (The Dolphin, Chapel Street eg.) there is nothing else getting posted to be shared by other members.
The aim of the site since the beginning has always been to share material and help other members produce quizzes.This fundamental seems to be lost to some. My own stuff seems to average 15-20 downloads every week. If it is rubbish and of no use to anyone I'll stop posting it. Going through the hoops to get it here doesn't seem worth the effort if it's not being used.
If however some individuals would like to receive some or all of my weekly stuff get in touch at
