Rochdale and District Quiz League 2025/26: Email Question Distribution Guide, alternatively, An Idiot’s Guide!

Introduction
The 2025/26 season marks a significant change for the Rochdale and District Quiz League.
For the first time in its history, the league will transition from manually delivering the sealed
question envelope to home venues to employing electronic distribution, as agreed at the AGM. This new process embraces modern technology and aligns the league with other quiz leagues from across the
country. This guide offers clear instructions, advice, and troubleshooting tips for teams
adapting to the new system. PLEASE READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE FOR WEEKLY USE. DOWNLOAD IN PDF OR ODT (READABLE IN WORD) FORMAT.
Both guides will be kept in the General Archive section of this site for future reference.

Unfortunately, The Strolling Players have resigned from the league. Updated fixtures are now on the Fixtures 2025-26 page . You can download them from HERE .

The updated rules for next season can be found on the Rules page

Teams have found parking near Bamford Bowling Club to be difficult. The best free option is if you go down Hollin Lane (the terraced row next to The Grapes) where there is sometimes parking outside the houses, or if you go past the houses and turn right, there is a long road you can use leading up to the farm / behind the retirement homes.
