Ed...I wasn't an afterthought was I?? :-(

[AB Editor]

I wouldn't worry, it was more of a space issue - I couldn't fit it all into one post!

And of course, the Dragonlfy 5 quiz is always at the forefront of my mind!

All the best

That's okay then! :-))
Thanks for doing this post Ed...it is really helpful.

[AB Editor]

Not a problem - you may have noticed that I needed prodding this month:

It's great to know you guys actually read this! Do you notice a increase in enquiries when this is up? Would be interested to know.

I got lots of people entering my World Cup Quiz after you added it last month. There had only been a few dozen up to then. Cheers!

[paulineward]

I get another steady trickle when you post Ed...so yes it does help...thank you.

[AB Editor]

Excellent! It is nice to know we have some effect!

Sorry didnt mean to prod but it makes a huge difference and it means we dont necessarily have to keep reposting which must be very annoying for those who are either not interested or perhaps have already got their copy. Saves space in the long run. Thanks

[AB Editor]

No, a prod is useful time-to-time. Keeps me on my toes. Will hopefully have the September one up without any prodding!

Ed - you seem to have missed.

Billericay Lions - Breweries of Britain Quiz

First Prize £50.00, Second Prize £25.00 ,Third Prize £10.00, Three Lucky Dip Prizes - £5.00

Entry Fee £1.00 - All profits to Lions Charity Account - Helping people in the local community.

The summer is here and there are lots of beer festivals to look forward to. To celebrate the fine ales of Britain we thought it would be fun to set a beer related quiz and found a web site that lists 500 or so breweries, some sadly now closed, but many still creating our favourite drink. The quiz has clues to 100 different ones, some are well known, others a little more obscure, but you don't need to be a member of the Campaign for Real Ale to find the answers, if you read the quiz carefully you will find the list we used.

Copies of the quiz can be downloaded from http://www.billericaylions.com/quiz.htm and you can send your fee with your completed entry, or if you still want the thrill of receiving a paper copy in the post they can still be requested by sending a stamped, addressed envelope and entry fee to :-
Breweries of Britain Quiz(AB), Lions Club of Billericay, PO Box 4359, CM11 1HB (Cheques \Postal Orders should be made payable to Lions Club of Billericay).

The closing date is Saturday 25th September 2010
Marked answer sheets will be returned on request after closing date.

PuzzledPedro and bosey, thanks for updating us.

Sorry - not an answer. Can't get a question into the system - the ' submit ' button is not working - it stays PALE and does not work. Am I doing it wrong? I've been using the site for quite a while, but not recently - worked things out myself.
Please help if you can.

[factor-fiction]

Gordontheclown- do you get a title box to fill in and then a box below asking for more details? The submit button stays blank until both have been filled in.

[gordonclown]

I get as far as putting the question in - in this panel but the ' submit ' button stays pale.

[factor-fiction]

gordonclown-

when you try to ask a question you shoud get a box which says something like "enter your question [or question title] here". Can you fill that in?
As you fill it in more boxes should appear below. Two are about youtube links. The next box is a big box that says something like "enter further details here?. Do you get that box?
Once you have typed something in there the Submit button should turn from Pale to Dark font and you should be able to press submit. If not, try pressing your enter/return key.

[gordonclown]

Hi it's me again. I've tried again and put my question in the big box after filling in the info about newspaper etc but still no dark button.
So I'll ask you - A picking-up point (4) I have - T?N? Any idea?

Thanks anyway

Not a quiz, but a worthy cause.
