The quiz starts at 9.00 pm but if you want a good seat, early arrival is recommended!
The Ringer's are also continuing their normal regular quiz for various deserving local charities every third Wednesday, which means of course that there's actually one quiz every fortnight from now on
Post by: admin on September 28, 2002, 06:38:13 PM
As usual, the quiz itself is planned to start at 9.00 pm, however it's wise to get there early and claim a good seat. This time, instead of a raffle, there's going to be a new game called higher or lower for you to enjoy too.
For those of you who read this forum and will be going - you will gain a slight advantage if you gen-up on Marple Carnival History
All the information necessary is available on the main site.

The next quiz is Wednesday 4th December, 9.00 pm start, again in aid of the bridge, as we got out of sequence due to the Poppy Appeal.
The Higher and Lower game wasn't won and £15 will be carried forward to next time and added to the prize money.
Post by: admin on December 05, 2002, 09:52:43 PM
The Higher and Lower game wasn't won again, so £31 in prize money will now be carried forward to the next quiz (A Christmas Special set by Santa Eddie) on 18th December, when it will be in aid of the MS Society.
Entry to the Quiz is £1 per person with all the proceeds going to the charity of the night. Prizes are a £12.50 token to spend behind the bar for the winners and a £7.50 token for the runners up, all donated by the landlord.
Tickets for the Higher and Lower game are £1 each. 50% of the money taken on the night goes to the charity and the other 50% is the prize. Upto 3 attempts are are made to win the game and if all 3 fail, the money is carried forward to the next quiz.

9.00 pm start - The Higher and Lower game prize money was carried over again, so should be a tidy sum this time

The Higher and Lower game wasn't won again and the prize money carried over to the next quiz, on 22 January, has built up to £73.50!
The next quiz will be in aid of the New Horizons narrowboat for the disabled.
Post by: admin on January 23, 2003, 08:56:48 PM
It should be a really exciting night as the Higher and Lower Game was carried over again. I'm not sure how much was carried over (will update when I find out) but with the takings on the 5th it should be close to £100.
The Landlord has decided that rather than let the prize get too large, the game will be played until it's won. Should make an entertaining climax to the evening!
Post by: admin on February 06, 2003, 07:34:38 AM
The Higher & Lower Game prize of £100 was won after several close calls and the prize money carried forward to the next quiz is £39.50. This is on Wednesday 19th February and is in aid of New Horizons - get there early as seats are becoming hard to find!

Any suggestions for deserving local charities will be welcomed - especially if the people involved are able to put together a quiz!

Next quiz, in aid of the Poppy Appeal, is on Wednesday 8 October.
Post by: admin on October 09, 2003, 07:49:43 AM
The Higher and Lower prize of £100 was carried over again and, as the next pot is building successfully, it will be played to a conclusion on the 22nd. Last time we did this 23 tickets were drawn before the prize was won - very entertaining!
Post by: admin on October 23, 2003, 10:02:41 PM
The Higher and Lower Game was amazing - we had agreed to play until someone won it, as the prize had reached £100 and a second pot had been building nicely for a few weeks. Last time we did this it took 23 attempts before it was won.
Last night 57 tickets were sold. 56 tickets were drawn and nobody won the prize. The 57th ticket drawn was held by a lady collecting money for Breast Cancer Research, and the pub erupted when she won the £100 for charity. You couldn't have written a better script!
Next quiz is on Wednesday 5th November, when the charity to benefit will be The Poppy Appeal again.
Post by: admin on November 12, 2003, 07:13:55 PM

The Higher and Lower Game wasn't won and the pot of £47.50 will go forward to the next quiz, on Wednesday 4th February.
The benefactor of this quiz, and the one on 3rd March, will be Mark Houghton - the young Marple boxer from Bredbury Stockport Boxing Club - who has the chance of a lifetime to go on a sporting trip to Canada in April if he can raise enough money. These two quizzes will hopefully help see him on his way.

The Higher & Lower game prize of £93.50 was not won and will be carried over to the next quiz, when the prize will be a jackpot £100.
With a change of Landlord comes a change of routine, and we're pleased to announce that starting next Wednesday 25th February there will be a Ringer's Quiz EVERY WEEK!
This changes the timetable slightly and the second quiz to raise funds towards Boxer Mark Houghton's trip to Canada will now be next week, the 25th February.
All other details are the same, 9.00 pm start - but get there early if you want to be sure of a seat!
Post by: admin on February 26, 2004, 07:35:13 AM
The Higher and Lower Game Jackpot of £100 was not won and will be carried forward to next week, whilst a second pot builds nicely for the game after it's won. Maybe we'll have another one of those exciting 'play til it's won' nights soon!
The next quiz on Wednesday 3rd March will be in aid of Guide Dog puppies.
Post by: admin on March 06, 2004, 08:15:26 PM
The Higher and Lower wasn't won again, taking us ever closer to that play it 'til it's won night if the prize doesn't go soon.
Post by: admin on March 12, 2004, 07:26:54 AM
The Higher and Lower £100 jackpot has still not gone and will carry over again. Next week's quiz, on St Patrick's Day, is in aid of The Iron Bridge.
Post by: admin on March 20, 2004, 05:57:01 PM
The Higher and Lower Game was nearly but not quite won and the jackpot remains at £100 with the second pot building steadily.
Post by: admin on March 25, 2004, 07:42:56 AM
The Higher & Lower ran close again but still no winner for the £100 jackpot prize. Surely it must go soon!
Post by: admin on April 03, 2004, 07:32:50 AM
The Higher and Lower game is still proving too much of a challenge and this time I was one of the 3 who failed to complete the game!
The next quiz on 7th April is for Marie Curie - 9.00 pm start.
Post by: admin on April 12, 2004, 08:25:25 AM
Next Quiz on Wednesday 14th is the monthly one for the Iron Bridge. The Higher and Lower prize will still be £100, as the second pot had built nicely waiting for the first one to be won Â
Post by: admin on April 15, 2004, 07:40:18 AM
The quiz raised £69 towards the Iron Bridge Restoration, plus £55 in sponsorship for our walk that was collected.
The next quiz on Wednesday 21st will be for Marie Curie again.

The Higher and Lower game wasn't won, so the prize is beginning to build again.
Post by: admin on May 08, 2004, 05:58:51 AM
The Higher and Lower Game wasn't won and the Jackpot will be back to £100 on Wednesday 12th May, when it is the monthly quiz for the Iron Bridge. As Peter and I will still be away on the Sponsored Walk, "Splodginess Abounds" will be standing in as quiz masters.
Post by: Andy G on May 13, 2004, 11:14:21 AM
Things will be back to Normal next week- Peter will be your quizmaster once again.
Post by: admin on May 14, 2004, 05:48:27 PM
Thank you very much to Andy Glossop for standing in as Quiz Master while Peter and I were away on the Sponsored Walk and thanks also to Andy for the very generous loan of his Motor Home.
The Higher and Lower Game wasn't won, so the Jackpot will remain at a healthy £100 for the next quiz on 19th May, while the next pot builds up.
Post by: admin on May 21, 2004, 01:07:09 PM
The Higher and Lower prize continues to elude those lucky enough to win a try, so the jackpot remains at £100!
Post by: admin on May 27, 2004, 09:55:08 PM
The Higher and Lower £100 jackpot remains elusive and the second pot contiunes to build. Let's hope we have one of those exciting play 'til it's won nights soon!
Post by: admin on June 06, 2004, 07:49:35 PM
The Higher and Lower Game jackpot is still £100, surely it must go soon!
Post by: admin on June 13, 2004, 05:48:35 AM
The Higher and Lower game ended every time with a pair (you get nothing for a pair....) so the jackpot remains at £100!
Post by: admin on June 17, 2004, 07:05:04 AM
Back to the quiz, and £79.55 was raised towards the Iron Bridge fund, taking the total raised at the Ringer's to over £1900 Â
The Higher & Lower Game jackpot of £100 was won last night by Gill, my wife. Trouble is she was playing for someone else who had to leave early
Nevermind, the second pot was already complete and a third one started. So at next week's quiz, for Riding for the Disabled, the jackpot prize will still be £100
Post by: admin on June 24, 2004, 12:25:12 PM
There will be NO quiz next week if England win tonight as it will be the Semi-Final - so let's hope there's no quiz until the 7th of July!
Well scratch that - the quiz is back on for Wednesday 30 June!
Post by: admin on July 04, 2004, 09:49:49 AM
This Wednesday 7th July it's the Iron Bridge Restoration Project that will benefit again.
Higher and Lower Games still not won, so the £100 jackpot is still to play for.
Post by: admin on July 10, 2004, 06:42:05 PM
The Higher and Lower game continues to torment participants and once again the jackpot prize eluded three attempts to win it.
The next quiz on Wednesday 14th July will raise money for Scleroderma Research. Linda Goldman, who used to work behind the bar at the Ringers, was diagnosed with this debilitating disease a couple of years ago and she has been in and out of hospital on a regular basis since then. All being well, Linda will be at the quiz on Wednesday and we hope there will be a great turn out to help this worthy cause.

The Higher & Lower Game jackpot stays at £100 for at least another week after defeating 3 contestants once again last night.
Post by: admin on July 22, 2004, 01:05:38 PM
With a small amount of help the amount raised was rounded off to £118, taking the total over two weeks to £250 - a new record that will take some beating.
Next week's quiz will raise funds for Marple Locks Heritage Society, the group that organised the recent Locks Bicentenary, and are now planning similar festival for next year.
The Higher & Lower game wasn't won, despite two thrilling close calls and the £100 jackpot will be carried forward yet again.
Post by: admin on July 29, 2004, 01:33:58 PM
The Higher and Lower Game failed to produce a winner of the £100 jackpot after 3 attempts, so the time has come again to play until it's won (or every ticket is pulled) at next week's Iron Bridge Quiz night. Be there early for a great night!!!
Post by: admin on August 05, 2004, 07:31:02 AM
Next week's jackpot is still £100 and the cause to benefit from the money raised by the quiz will be the Marple Locks Heritage Society again.

Business as usual next week the 29th Dec. when the quiz will be in aid of the Iron Bridge Restoration Project.
Merry Christmas from all at the Ringers Quiz!!!!
Post by: admin on December 30, 2004, 06:29:04 AM
The quiz and the Higher and Lower game raised £120.50. However, the winner of the the H & L Jackpot entered into the spirit of the evening by donating the £100 prize to the charity pot, taking the total to £220.50.
Next week's quiz on Wednesday 5th January will be for the Marple Locks Heritage Society.

The Higher & Lower Game wasn't won.
Next week's quiz on Wednesday 12 January will be for The Marple Locks Heritage Society.
It's worthy of note that a total of £4225.82 was raised at the Ring 'o Bells quizzes during 2004 for a whole host of mainly local charities. An excellent achievement and a hard act to beat this year - not impossible though, if even more of you come along each week - it's the place to be on a Wednesday night in Marple

Post by: admin on January 27, 2005, 06:36:03 PM
This means that at next week's quiz for the Otterspool Animal Sanctuary it will be played 'til it's won - or at least until every ticket has been drawn.
Post by: admin on February 04, 2005, 05:46:14 PM
The excitement of a play-til-it's-won Higher and Lower Game was soon over with the £100 Jackpot prize being won at the first attempt, the second time that's happened.
Next week's quiz on Wednesday 9th February is for.. doh! - can't remember - will update when Peter reminds me
Post by: admin on February 10, 2005, 07:35:14 AM
Three goes at the Higher and Lower Game failed to hit the £100 Jackpot - back to normal again after last week's rapid win.
Post by: admin on February 18, 2005, 07:55:27 AM
The Higher and Lower Game £100 Jackpot wasn't won, so in a week or two we could be in for a "play 'til it's won" night again.
Next week's quiz on Wednesday 23rd February is the regularly monthly one for the Iron Bridge.
Post by: admin on February 25, 2005, 12:53:17 PM

Next week's quiz is the regular monthly one for the Iron Bridge Restoration Fund.
Post by: admin on April 21, 2005, 07:42:38 AM
The Higher and Lower game was played with slightly different rules introduced last week that now allow the player to accept £30 if they get to the end of the first line, or they can gamble and go on to try and win the £100. If £30 is taken, as it was last night, the next player plays for £70 but can accept £20 for the first line, and if that's also won the third player can accept £10 or play the second line for £50. It's complicated to explain but not so bad in practice and hopefully means that there will be more winners!
Talking of rules - because the nominated charity did not attend the quiz to collect their donation last week a vote was held by the teams attending last night on which of this year's causes should receive the £113.50 raised. The most votes were received by Otterspool Animal Sanctuary.

Next week's quiz is for Scleroderma Reseach
Post by: admin on August 07, 2005, 02:33:43 PM
Perhaps it'll be even more as the Higher and Lower Game is one of those exciting play'til it's won nights! The £100 Jackpot must be won!
Incidentally, if anyone is wondering - Scleroderma is a debilitating disease that Linda Goldman, who used to work behind the bar at the Ringers until she no long could, was diagnosed with several years ago. Linda, who has been in and out of hospital on a regular basis since then, was a firm favorite with the regulars at the pub and it's a cause everyone that knows her is keen to support.

£30 was won again on the Higher and Lower top line but no luck on the jackpot prize, which will be the usual £100 next week.
The next quiz will be for the Mayor's Charities again, which are not as reported below last week (that was out of date info from the Stockport web site! ) they are:
During her Mayoral year the Mayor will support two charities, Stockport’s  Alzheimer’s Society - to help its development, and Stockport’s Stepping Hill Hospital’s Charity Trust - to provide additional heart monitoring equipment for the new Cardiac Unit.

Incidentally, this is a good opportunity to mention that the Ring o' Bells has recently received a Great British Pub Award as the Best Community Pub in the North West. The Great British Pub Awards are run by the Morning Advertiser, the trade paper, and are said to be the Oscars of the pub world. Sue & Peter heard that they'd been short listed recently and then had a visit from the editor who told them verbally that they had won the NW title but to wait until it was confirmed in writing, which duly arrived last week. They will now travel to London, to the Park Lane Hilton, for the finals where they compete for the titles: National Community Pub of the year, NW Pub of the year and possibly National Pub of the year!
I'm sure that their fund-raising efforts detailed in this thread have played a big part in their winning the North West Community Pub of the Year title and we wish them luck in the finals.

The two weeks for Riding For The Disabled raised £92 the first week and £88.50 the second making a total of £180.50.
Three 9's in the H&L meant an emergency was averted and it wasn't won :-)

Last week was for the Big Umbrella, a theatre group for people with learning disabilities and raised £75, not bad considering we were competing with City v Arsenal! Same again this week.

Next two weeks (our last) in aid of Mellor & Ludworth Scouts.
Post by: Peter on December 20, 2009, 02:22:24 PM
Speaking of next week did we mention that it is the last quiz hosted by Peter & Sue? Be there early, we're expecting a decent turnout!
Post by: Peter on December 24, 2009, 11:47:29 AM
The quiz raised a fantastic £94 for Ludworth & Mellor cubs. we then went into an exciting H&L to a finish playing for the complete kitty which with the nights sales (150 tickets) was a staggering £392. After a number of close calls it was eventually won on the 20 oddth ticket by one of our longest serving teams. Of course this raised another £75 for the cubs making a total of £169 on the night.
Sue & I would like to thank you all for your support for the quiz over the 8 years that we have presented it. Your generosity has seen an unbelievable £31,033.50 raised for various local charities, WELL DONE!!
As you probably know we leave the Ringers on 5th Jan so thanks to you all, it's been a really fun time! :-)

Is there a new landlord going into The Hatter's on the 5th Jan? Are Peter and Sue leaving some of Marple's history hanging on the walls?
Post by: jet on January 01, 2010, 05:00:17 PM
Thank you for the good luck message.
Anita and I will be running both the Hatters and the Ring O'Bells until a new Tenant has been appointed to take over the Hatters. Steve and Julie, our Holiday relief couple will be managing the Hatters on our behalf in the mean time. There will be pictures of the Marple and Hawk Green Brass Bands and other pictures of Marple etc. put up in the Ring O’ Bells.
In the summer months we will be promoting Sunday afternoon Brass Band Concerts in the garden to raise much need funds for the Brass Bands of Marple Charity Organization. You can visit our website
www.ringobellsmarple.com for more information.

The Quiz starts at 9pm and comprises a picture round, 20 general knowledge questions and 10 audio music questions. First prize is eight drinks (which must be consumed on the night - although taking them as bottles is permitted) and second prize varies but is usually a bottled drink of some kind each.
Entry fee is £1, all of which goes to the charitable cause. There is also an "Open the Box" raffle game and a "Snowball Question" which means you may get really lucky too!
