Radio Quiz Champions!
CHURCHTOWN, the mother of Southport, became the brains of Southport, when the Bold Arms Quiz team won the prestigious Merseyquiz Trophy. Pictured is Jenny Collins of Radio Merseyside presenting Bernie Blaney (team captain) with the winner's cup. Licensee Mr Dave Dobson told the Visiter, "I'm very proud of the Bold quiz team because as far as I know this is the first time the trophy has been out of Liverpool."
