Pub Quizzes

This term (Michaelmas 2011), CUQS is helping run the weekly Monday-night pub quizzes at the Cambridge Union. Entry is free and open to anyone (even non-Union members) so get a team together and come and test your knowledge on a wide variety of topics! The quizzes start at 19.30 every Monday of Michaelmas from the 17th September onwards with prizes generously provided by the Cambridge Union. We are also going to be running weekly Sunday-night pub quizzes at the Mitre, on Bridge Street, from the 13th November, during term time. We'll be starting at 20.30 with entry costing £1 per person. So for your chance to win some alcoholic prizes and to try and beat our question-setters, come along!

Intercollegiate Quiz Challenge

Every year we run and organise the prestigious ICC tournament each Lent term. The Championship is an opportunity for quizzers to play with buzzers and offers excellent practice for those seeking fame on University Challenge, with questions of a similar style. Invitations to submit a team are sent to all members of the society, though nonmembers are equally welcome. For further information on previous tournaments and past winners visit our ICC page.

University Challenge

Applications to go on the show are usually arranged through each college's JMA or JCR President. If you are interested on appearing on the show and no information has been provided by the end of October, contact Granada Production. For those arranging teams, we can offer the hire of University Challenge style buzzers for a small fee and also arrange for questions of varying difficulties, both for holding trials and for practising if your team is chosen to appear on the show.
