Hello stranger!

If you are a lonely quizzer in Derbyshire or nearby then look at our fixtures tables and take yourself along to a pub near you. Take a seat as a spectator, introduce yourself, many teams would welcome another person, perhaps to act as a scorer or a question reader in the first instance. Get an idea of what we are like. Our 2017-2018 Season has started.

At least one team has gained a valuable member inspired by browsing this web-site – make sure your friends and acquaintances know about it.

DPQL quiz setters have appeared variously on such prestigious shows as Brain of Britain (BBC Radio 4), Round Britain Quiz (BBC Radio 4),  Eggheads (BBC 2), Mastermind (BBC 1), Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (ITV), Going For Gold (Five), 15 To 1 (Channel Four), Only Connect (BBC 4) and Battle of the Brains (BBC 2), and more locally on BBC Radio Derby’s Inn Quiz and BBC Radio Nottingham’s Top Firm Quiz, while three of our setters past and present have held the title Brain of Mensa.
