I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of those, past and present, who have taken part in one or more White Room Quiz.

In particular, my thanks are extended to the current regulars

   @Cleoriff  @jonsie  @pgn  @MI5  @gmarkj  @Anonymous  @Martin-O2  @Marjo  @LukasB  @O2Karl 

who have taken part twice a week, sometimes tackling some difficult questions.

A special mention must be made of @Cleoriff who twice was not only questionmaster but also  organised and ran the White Room Quiz, so that I could take part.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WHITE ROOM QUIZ:

The White Room Quiz was "born" on 01 August 2019, when it was known as the White Room Thursday Quiz.

The name "White Room [Thursday] Quiz" was chosen as an alternative to the infamous Black Chair of BBC TV`s Mastermind, which was daunting, whilst the White Room is intended as fun and an escape from the everyday pressures.

The White Room Quiz has undergone various changes during its twelve months - most notable the introduction of those taking part pming their answers being to me - Mi-Amigo as the questionmaster, and on two occasions to Cleoriff when she was questionmaster.

I hope that each and everyone of our regulars will take part in the White Room Quiz on Monday.

Thank you everyone for making this quiz so popular.

it has been, and continues to be, an honour and privilege to research, organise and run the White Room Quiz, which will continue to run for as long as members want it and enjoy it.

The quizzes have been a welcome distraction in these very troubled times.

That's amazing @Mi-Amigo ! Happy Quizziversary!  Totally agree with the above, it's been a lovely addition to the community and a lot of fun. Thanks a lot for organising this and in such a consistent way too.

I am still aiming for that Red Thinker one day. 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @jonsie  @O2Karl  @pgn  @gmarkj  @Martin-O2  @Marjo for your kind words, which are much appreciated.

I am so pleased that everyone gets as much enjoyment from the quiz as I do in researching and running them.

Good luck with the subjects for the Anniversary edition - at least you have plenty of time to consider them over the weekend.
