Macclesfield Quiz League is an annual General Knowledge competition that's been held throughout the winter months in and around the market town of Macclesfield, in the English county of Cheshire, since at least 1982. On this website you can find all the latest results and League tables, a historical archive of past results and tables, and all the questions that we've set to challenge each other in the past few years (with answers, obviously).
This website replaced the Macclesfield Quiz League blog in 2017. The blog had been operational since 2007.
This week (Tuesday 10 December) we played League Week 6. All results are in, and are now available from the Latest Updates menu on the left hand side of this page. Questions, tables, News & Views, etc., to follow.
Next week (Tuesday 17 December) is Week 7. The questions are being set by the Nags Head; Bate Hall Wanderers will be asking them in the A League. There's a link to the fixtures in the Upcoming Fixtures section on the left hand side of this page.
This will be our last week before the Christmas break. We'll return on Tuesday 7 January with League Week 8.
The team Fixtures & Results pages were posted earlier this week. They can be reached via the A and B League Fixtures & Results pages (available from the 2024–5 menu, at the top of every page in the site).
There were some very good scores this week. Ashton has kicked the discussion off ... how did your match go?

The Archive section of the website is now complete, in the sense that all the historical material we have is there. But there are gaps; if you can fill any of them in, please get in touch!
Essentially, we have a complete record from 1999 onwards (thanks to the diligent record–keeping of Mark Watson). We have a good coverage of fixtures and results from the early 90s, but there are some gaps in the latter years of that decade. We have tables (League and Individual) as far back as the mid–80s, and Question Setters' Trophy details from 1992–3.
We have very little material relating to the first four or five years of the League's history (the early–to–mid 1980s), and sadly it now seems unlikely that we will come across much more from that era. But things do come to light from time to time; the latest addition was a number of newspaper cuttings sent in by Lesley Bailey during the 2023–4 season, which included League tables from 1982–3. These are now the earliest we have – click here for a News & Views special.
At the risk of repeating myself: if you happen to come across any information – of any kind – that isn't currently on the website, please let us know!
For details of what we have and what we don't have, please refer to the Archive Summary.
