Merseyside Quiz Leagues

Allan Urion, from the Northern League, became Chairman of the MQL in 1974, bringing a dynamic (but sometimes abrasive!) approach to the next decade of MQL development.  With his vision, enthusiasm and good humour Allan oversaw a doubling in the size of the MQL.  In 1973-74 there were 132 teams registered in the MQL; when his chairmanship ended in Season 1983-84, 266 teams had
registered.  During his chairmanship the "passing-over‟ of questions came in, as did his own pet project, the Mimir Individual competition (for which he wrote most of the questions in the early years).  Allan was keen to enhance the corporate image of the MQL and introduced the ravens logo.  He was President of the MQL from 1984-87.
