The Capital Quiz

The Capital Quiz, now 22 years old, is an annual knock-out quiz competition held January to March and open to teams of three lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people. It is organised by the London Monday Group (a social group for gay men). We also use the quiz to raise money for charity, and this year our choice is The Food Chain.

This year under new rules 13 teams entered, while others can just turn up on the night. Many pubs enter teams, as do gay groups. But it could just as easily be an informal group of friends. Other people who aren’t in teams can come along, take part in a Table Quiz and generally enjoy the show.

The Quiz was originally sponsored by the late, much-lamented weekly gay free-sheet, Capital Gay. When the paper folded, the quiz was taken on first by the Central Station pub and then by The Black Cap in Camden Town. This year it is back at Central Station. The first and second prizes are £100 and £75, while the third and fourth teams pick up £50 and £25 respectively.

The 2008 winners were the Gay Football Supporters Network.

At the end of the competition we do one final fundraising event for our charity, which is a novelty quiz night. This year it’s on Sunday 25^th May and will feature a play-off between the 2007 and 2008 winners, a Strip Quiz, and a general pub quiz with lots of prizes. Do come along.
