Quickfire quiz - gauging interest
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a quickfire quiz, probably on Saturdays. Points would be deduced from time taken to answer and questions correct. If a good few many people say yes, then this will hopefully start next Saturday.
Thanks,
Joseph.
