Our Most Genial Quizmaster: Prof. Tom Brewer

Tom's Easter 2009 Quiz

Our highly learned Prof. Tom Brewer has once again put together another of his general knowledge quizzes for you to wile away a spare hour or two in attempting to answer.  

These quizzes are proving popular with many people and are almost becoming our Redbridge Marquetry Group version of the well known Trivial Pursuit.

As the saying goes: "Our Tom knows his onions!" - and we're pleased to say that we agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment, Tom certainly knows his business when it comes to compiling a quiz or two!

The answer to each question can be found by clicking the "answer box" to the right of your selected question - but, don't cheat by clicking the box before you have worked out the answer - it's not really cricket you know!!

When you have read the answer, click the box again to close the answer, in case someone else reads it over your shoulder before they themselves attempt the quiz!
