"A good paper with a good aggregate score to start the 45th WithQuiz league season."

"The quiz itself was just what we expect from the Albert - with formats as comforting as a pair of woolly socks."

"Seemed like quite a tough set of questions, but I think generally they were well-balanced, both in get-ability and levels of obscurity."

"Mostly a good quiz"

"...a welcome inclusion for the famous Charabanc Blockbuster round format - but there were some inaccuracies/ambiguities to navigate."

"Excellent paper covering many varied subjects delivered through rounds of questions in many varied formats."

"A fine paper from the History People with no blast of the trumpet against monstrous wokery."

"The Opsis paper was generally well received, or at least 7/8ths of it were ... Round 2 was an idea that should probably have stayed on the drawing board."

"Another good average aggregate with plenty of variety.  There was a welcome reappearance of the 'Funny Punny' format in Round 3 and a delightful Hidden Theme in Round 5."

"On the whole this was a very entertaining quiz with relatively few unanswered questions."

"A belter of a quiz from the Bards"

"Another high scoring game, and another well-constructed quiz."

"A decent enough quiz but a couple of pretty basic errors ... [including] messing up the order of the sign language and Morse code questions."

"In  the midst of the carnage there were some genuinely interesting questions."

"We found this paper rather tricky."

"A very good paper from Withquiz's prodigal son, Gerry from the Northern Reeks."

"The quiz itself was nicely crafted, well balanced and had something for everyone to get their teeth into."

"There was praise for the quiz from both teams.  I do not think Gerry/Father Megson has ever produced a dull or disappointing offering."

"A decent quiz that had something in it for everyone and seemed to rattle along at a good pace."

"A good set of questions tonight."

"An accessible quiz and no issues with balance."

"The quiz was well received and the various formats and content met with approval."

"Perhaps some questions were a little long..."

"A bit of a toughie.  Few points scored in Round 1 although the subsequent rounds were fair game."

"... the paper actually seemed harder than the aggregate score suggests."

"Plenty of poetry and quotes and with not a lot of sport."

"The quiz we found challenging in parts - especially when the difficult questions related to recent events."

"No complaints from our side of the room over this week's questions which seemed a perfect mix of gettables and work-outables over a broad range of topics."

"Strange!  An aggregate of 70 or more in three of the matches but a meagre 58 in the other."

"To be fair, the quiz was equally difficult for both teams."

"We found tonight's paper a bit of an ordeal and a real toughie."

"Excellent quiz entirely set by Brian - and he has not failed to entertain."

"We felt it was a bit chewy and maybe there was a bit too much obiter dicta going on."

"The quiz itself was well balanced and covered a wide range of subjects, some of the questions were a little on the lengthy side for a timed quiz."

"Hard to find too many positives here.  It was a difficult paper all round."

"We all thought that was a temporary lapse from the usual Opsi's level"

"I think we all liked the round (Round 1) with answers beginning with 'CL' and could kick ourselves for not guessing the theme"

"The quiz itself was a winner and although somewhat tricky was beautifully crafted."

"The quiz itself seemed fair to me with lots of interesting questions."

"Greg’s Punny Round (R2) has replaced the Run-on Round has our favourite question style"

"Shortish questions with plenty of points on offer and a good range of inventive round styles."

"...there weren't any real teasers or 'I never knew that' moments."

"We enjoyed the themes (announced and unannounced) and the relative brevity of the questions."

"We loved this quiz.  It certainly required a team with varied interests but mercifully not too much contemporary stuff to addle our ageing brains."

"Quite a tough paper but having said this there was a plethora of inventive question styles deployed."

"An excellent paper from the always reliable setters from the Griffin."

"There was plenty to enjoy about tonight’s offering: Dot Cotton, Doris Day and the delights of Shropshire."

"We found KFD's paper a bit of a toughie."

"Excellent average aggregate so no complaints there with plenty of opportunities for twos."

"The quiz paper was, despite grumblings, a good test both of old and new knowledge."

"... covered a wide range of subjects with something for everybody - it was easy to suss the hidden themes."

"A pretty good paper ... the favourite rounds were Round 5 and the excellent final round."

"The quiz itself was fair enough and produced a good aggregate."

"A decent paper from the Bards."

"Good set of questions from the Albert with the kind of variety that we have come to value."

"The quiz stats suggest a well balanced quiz."

"We guessed all the hidden themes without too much difficulty."

"... a peach of a paper.  Great themes and plenty of points to be garnered."

"... a cracker of a paper ... full of variety and very accessible."

"Many congratulations to the Bards for producing a superb paper at such short notice."
