Have a crack at the newsquiz...

Last week’s newsquiz appeared to be another tough one with scores well below average. The top solo performers were Marguerite Turner and Robert Rea both with 18. The best team was the Roberts Family with 23, just ahead of Phil and Maura Parsons, with special guest Dominic Hurst, who scored 21. Here is this week’s quiz. As usual there are 25 questions about the week’s events. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
