Pub quizzes are all the rage at the moment as the nation looks to occupy itself and here at Disability Partnership Calderdale, we have a master of the art of compiling pub quizzes, Malcolm Kielty MBE. Malcolm has kindly agreed to provide a quiz every week for the duration and here’s the first.
There are no prizes – why not play with a relative or friend you are living with, or over the phone with someone you’re keeping in touch with?
