Finally, there was a team round, with the teams being formed again by matching high scoring with lower scoring pairs.
The winner on the day was Rob Sutherland with 96 points, closely followed by Diane Hallagan - Lincolnshire Mastermind Champion 2017 - on 95 points and Barry Simmons - a member of TV’s Eggheads - on 94 points.
Such was the success of the event, it is hoped to run a similar event next year, probably in the autumn, when it is also hoped a few more local quiz teams will be able to take part.
Meanwhile, keep your eye out for Lawrence as he will be appearing on ‘The Chase’ soon.
