Seriously who
doesn’t love a pub quiz? There is something about a good old get together over
some drinks, arguing over what the answer is to that theme tune that “I know
it! I know! Damn it’s on the tip of my tongue!”
Who doesn’t love
trying to name those celebrity faces that have had their eyes crossed out, or
shouting out the answer by accident, to the groans of you team
I hosted a quiz
myself a few weeks ago for my charity and God I had a blast. So as you might
have seen lately, I’ve been trying to tell you more about things that are going
on, and not just what I’ve been up to.
So there’s a new
National Day happening. I know, there seems to be one every 5 minutes; National
Burger Day, National Hash Brown Day, National Love My Red Hair Day (True fact
it’s November the 5th), but now there is National Pub Quiz Day
starting.
Started by Orderella,
the quiz specialists MyBigIQ and Digital Marketing
Specialists, D-Media, the UK’s very first National Pub
Quiz Day is where hundreds of people will battle it out over the
same quiz simultaneously around the whole of England, with the
winner’s crowned the nation’s Brainiest Pub Quiz Team! Like the Egg Head’s,
only more fun…
But there’s
more. It’s actually for a really good cause, see, this national event will
raise money for the charity Team
Margot Foundation, a
charity which raises money to support people affected by and aid research into bone
marrow and stem cell illnesses. Sadly there are over 37,000 people who need a
bone marrow transplant, but on average only half of those who need one find a
matching donor.
I’m ashamed to
say I registered at university and then never donated. So I’m pledging to
donate in December. If you are in London and interested in donating too, why
not join me?
But in the meantime,
you can help support the charity by getting down to one of Orderella’s venues.
There is a full
list of venues here: www.nationalpubquizday.com but here’s a sample:

But what exactly is it?
How does it all work?
So on 1st December 2015
the same quiz will be played simultaneously and in real time in each venue. At
the end of the night the National Pub Quiz winning team will be crowned the
glorious elite and have ultimate bragging rights.
It’s pretty much general
knowledge but your scores got to a leader boards shared nationwide. But
don’t even think about checking Google though, the faster you answer the more
points a team gets.
So head down to your local, and join in for charity. Enter
your team on the night at your nearest participating venue, I’ll pop the link
below, and pay your £5 to the pub. All proceeds from team entries go to the
charity.
Have fun.
