Merseyside Quiz Leagues

It is with great sadness we have to report the death of Bob Wilkie, who passed away on Thursday 16th December.  Bob was one of the longest serving members of the MQL having been a player in the Liverpool league from the early seventies.  However, it was in the vital role of Question Distributor that Bob made an invaluable contribution to the running of the MQL.  Handbooks show that he was carrying out this job in 1977 and he continued for 44 years having only relinquished it earlier this year.
As a Distributor, Bob was an ex-officio member of the MQL Council and was a very regular attender of meetings. He served as President of the MQL from 2005 to 2008 and so had been a Vice-President from 2008 to date. The Leagues recognised his years of service with a presentation in 2009, and we are happy to say that he continued attending meetings until this year.  Bob would have been 84 on Christmas Day.  All at MQL offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.  They have requested no cards or flowers.
