Magpas quiz update from quizmouse
I must apologise for the delay, the first time ever this has happened. All the sheets arrived & were opened etc on the 2nd dec. However we have had a series of events occuring since then, illness, a week away, christmas and a new grandaughters arrival which was not straight forward.... so each time the time set aside for serious marking, compiling etc came around, I could not devote the appropriate time for this. It was suggested that I revamp an old quiz, but I dont like this idea, I dont feel it's fair, so I decided to let you all know that we will get new year out of the way, and you will get your results and the new quiz within a few days time. Many apologies for this series of events , most of which are beyond my control. Apart from the holiday, ( which I feel I could do with again!)
So I am asking you all if possible to bear with me, and I hope you all have a happy new year...
