"Barrie's Rounds were fine examples of the Stockport style if a little on the tough side"

"The questions in the music Round (Round 4) were fairly accessible and the 2 teams scored 19 points between them out of a possible maximum of 24."

"No gimmicks and plenty of points on offer."

"The paper was mostly OK apart from the rail round."

"We looked forward to tonight's paper from the Opsimaths because we have usually done well  - and tonight was certainly no exception."

"Plenty of variety ... and a round of triple clues ... which I think was our the favourite"

" .. but on the whole a bit of a bland paper"

".. a test of all fields of human knowledge including some fields not often ploughed"
