Archive for 'Peterborough Lions Quiz'

It’s taken a while to mark hundreds of returned quizzes but it’s done, they’ve been double checked, the list of alternative answers compiled and the winners drawn!

We’ve had some lovely positive feedback for this quiz (and nothing negative so far, but don’t hold back!). It would appear that – much like 2020’s “Sweet Tooth” – we found a topic with wide interest!

The draw for our cash prize winners, and mug-winning runners-up, took place on Sunday 8th March, and our winners were (well done to all of you!):

  • L Madden (1st, winning £200, Hemel Hempstead)
  • H Catling (2nd, winning £100, Peterborough)
  • D Blackwell (3rd, winning £50, Ely)
  • Runners-up:
    • J Redmond (Peterborough)
    • J Harkness (Peterborough)
    • J Baker (Chesterfield)
    • M Westwood (Ross-on-Wye)
    • A Ridge (Enfield)
    • R Hill (Ireland)
    • E O’Boyle (Castor)

If you’re in that list then your prizes are on their way to you. And if you’re not – well we are really grateful for your support, with close to £5000 raised so far with funds still coming in.

If you sent us an SAE for answers those will be going out over the coming days. If you didn’t, or can’t wait for Royal Mail, you can download the answers below.

Once again, thank you for supporting our annual quiz sheets. Pre-orders for the 2026/7 quiz are available in our store along with past issues (including Sweet Tooth, which a lot of people missed due to 2020 being, well, 2020!). Work is already underway on that next issue ahead of its September release so we’ll see you then!

Thank you to everyone who bought copies of our 2025/26 “All Day Breakfast” quiz! Entries for the prize competition have now closed and the long process of marking all the entries has begun.

If you missed the quiz, this and plenty of others are still available to buy in our store but you’ll have to wait until our next quiz, to be released (as always) on 1st September, if you want a chance of winning a cash prize. (If you don’t want to risk missing out you can pre-order the quiz now.)

Marking will take a while – not only do we have hundreds of quiz sheets to work through, but as always the official answer sheet will take into account any perfectly valid alternative answers that you found that we hadn’t thought of. The prize draw will happen in March, and the answer sheet (which includes details of the winners) made available as soon as possible after that.

Yes, it’s finally here – the new Peterborough Lions Club Quiz is now available to buy!

This year’s theme is “All Day Breakfast”, with 100 questions where every answer has some connection to everyone’s favourite meal of the day.

As always, there are cash prizes to be won, with a new top prize of £200! Entries close on Saturday 10th January 2026, so you have plenty of time to get your sheet and crack those clues!

The quiz is available to buy online now for just £2 (plus postage) at: https://pblions.uk/quiz2025.

We will also be sending stock out to our local stockists over the coming days and weeks.

As always, all money raised goes directly to supporting local projects and good causes within the Peterborough community. If you would like to help us raise money or have a good cause of your own that you’d like to fundraise for, we can support you by supplying quiz sheets to sell on a 50:50 basis. Please get in touch with us to find out more.

The time has finally come to announce the winners of the 2024/25 “All At Sixes And Sevens” Quiz!

Getting all 100 answers correct and winning cash prizes, were:

  • 1st Prize (£200): H Catling (Peterborough)
  • 2nd Prize (£100): T Higgs (Peterborough)
  • 3rd Prize (£50): D Blundell (Northants)

Runners-Up Mugs are on their way to: J Milne (Cornwall), G Healey (Northants), M Clarke (North Yorks), S Harris (Lincs), J Watkins (Peterborough), L Tozer (Peterborough), T Bass (Peterborough)

And with the announcement of the winners comes that all important answer sheet which is now available to download here:

How did you get on this year?

Thank you to everyone who supported the quiz, whether by selling it for us (or for another group on a 50:50 basis) or by putting your hands in your pockets to pay for one. This is a major fundraiser for us and we’re extremely grateful for your continued support.

You can now place a pre-order for the 2025/26 quiz in our store – where you can also buy past copies of the quiz to tide you over until September.

September is here, and that can only mean one thing!

Yes, our annual quiz sheet is now on sale. Titled “All At Sixes And Sevens”, it brings you the usual 100 questions, this time across a range of subjects but with all the answers comprising only words of 6 or 7 letters in length.

It remains at £2, and you have the chance to win up to £200 in cash or one of our wonderful, limited edition runners-up mugs. But of course that’s just secondary to hours of brain challenging fun and your chance to help us with one of our main fundraisers of the year!

You can buy online in our store (where you can also obtain any past issues you may have missed), or from one of several local stockists (the list will be updated as we get the stock out to them). If you’d like to help us sell them please get in touch, we’ll be eternally grateful and you’ll be increasing the amount of good work in and around Peterborough that your local Lions Club can achieve!

Finally, the time has come to release the answers to the Peterborough Lions Club 2022/23 “Altered Images” quiz, and to tell you who won the cash prizes. Which of those is most important to you may well depend on whether you’re one of the ten named below!

We had over 1000 sheets returned, so huge thanks are due to the team of markers who whittled them down to just 49 100% correct sheets in time for the draw last night.

The winners were:

  • 1st Prize (£100): G. Utting (London)
  • 2nd Prize (£75): D. Prisk (Newborough, Peterborough)
  • 3rd Prize (£50): C. Pairman (Tillicoultry)
  • 4th Prize (£25): B. Canham (Stamford)
  • Runners up (£10 winners):
    • D. Nash (Gloucestershire)
    • H. Burrow (Longthorpe, Peterborough)
    • J. Watkins (Stamford)
    • B. Hoffmann (Orton Wistow, Peterborough)
    • P. Utting (Bretton, Peterborough)
    • C. Brown (Castor, Peterborough)

Were you one of the lucky ten? If not, were you one of the unlucky 39 who got 100% but missed out in the final draw, or did you get one or two wrong? You can now download the answers and check for yourself. While you’re at it, you can pre-order the 2023-24 quiz so that you’re amongst the first to receive it in September, giving you the best chance of making the winner’s list next year!

It’s been 9 months in the making but our latest quiz sheet has landed!

Something a little bit different this year: “Altered Images” gives you 100 cropped images, can you tell us who, what or where they are? There should be something for everyone, but can you get every one? We look forward to seeing your answers as they come in between now and January when the quiz closes.

You can buy them straight away in our online store, and they’ll be finding their way to our local stockists over the coming days – we’ll share our stockists map in due course.

Happy quizzing!

Are you fed up with “It’s About Time” being shoehorned into everything we post yet? Well, it’s coming to an end now, so you can surely indulge us one more time.

Now that the quizzes are marked and prizes awarded, the final answer sheet, including any alternates we accepted from your returned entries, has been released.

You can find the answers to this, and previous quizzes, on our Past Quizzes page. And now that “It’s About Time” has been relegated to “Past Issue” status, we’re working hard on the next quiz for release in September. Don’t want to miss it? You can pre-order now from our store, where you can also pick up any past issues you may have missed.

Thank you so much for your support in raising over £4,000 for great causes!

It’s About Time!

It’s good to get back to some semblance of normality after 2020! Our “It’s About Time” quiz sales are heading back in the right direction – raising over £4000 so far – and we had over 500 returned to us for marking of which 60 were 100% correct. We managed to avoid any errata – so not quite back to normal there – and have now completed marking and can share both the answers and the list of winners.

First things first, then: the prize draw took place at the Club’s February business meeting (Tuesday 8th), and the winners are:

  • First Prize (£100): S Hicks (Gunthorpe, Peterborough)
  • Second Prize (£75): R Martin (Orton Wistow, Peterborough)
  • Third Prize (£50): J Smith (Hoddesdon, Herts)
  • Fourth Prize (£25): C Roper (Alnwick, Northumberland)
  • Runners up (£10 winners):
    • C Twydell (Ashford, Kent)
    • C Harrop (Oundle)
    • A Wade (Folkestone, Kent)
    • N Griffiths (Grantham, Lincs)
    • C Chinnery (Peterborough)
    • S Blenkhorn (Hanslope, Bucks)

Well done to all the winners, commiserations to everyone else – especially the other 50 who returned 100% correct sheets! Prizes are on their way to you – check your email (if you gave us an address) for more info.

Answer sheets are heading out to those who requested them by post, or you can download the answers below.

Once again, thank you to everyone who took part, for the feedback we received, and for the advance orders for the 2022/23 quiz (to be released in September).

We’re already busy working on the new quiz, and if you haven’t already you can pre-order a copy using the form on the answer sheet, or save money by pre-ordering via our store. In the meantime you will find lots of past copies to keep you entertained until September!

Thank you to everyone who bought our 2021/2 “It’s About Time” quiz sheet. The closing date for prize-draw entries has now passed (although you can still buy this and many of our previous quizzes just for fun).

We received over 500 competition entries so now the task of marking them begins so that the prize draw can take place. Then we can share the final set of answers (adjusted to include any extra answers we find amongst yours that we deem to be valid alternatives), which usually takes around a month from the closing date.

We cannot overstate how grateful we are to everyone who took part, this is a major source of fundraising for the club. And thank you for the wonderful comments we got along the way!

Time for a breather? Not a chance – work is already underway for the 2022 quiz to be released in September!
