Quiz Sheets

Peterborough Lions Quiz is a popular pastime and fundraiser alike. It goes on sale each September and is available through Christmas and into the New Year, with quiz entries accepted until the middle of January.

Information about past quizzes is available on a separate page, where you will find errata, winners lists and the all-important answer sheets.

Our current quiz sheet was released on 1st September 2024. If you missed last year’s “A Right Royal Quiz”, 2022’s “Altered Images”, 2021’s “It’s About Time”, 2020’s “Sweet Tooth”, or any others, they’re still available to buy in our store.

2024 “ALL AT SIXES AND SEVENS” QUIZ AVAILABLE NOW!

The 2024-25 Peterborough Lions Quiz has been released!

Entitled “All At Sixes And Sevens“, it’s 100 questions where all the answers are made up only of words six or seven letters in length.

Order it now via our store at £2 per copy, plus £1.25* per order for postage and card processing (no matter how large the order – go on, challenge us!)

We’re also doing our best to make it available in shops and businesses around Peterborough – check back later as we add more venues. If you would like to help us sell them please get in touch – if you would like to use them to raise money for a great cause close to your heart we also offer them on a 50:50 basis (see below)!

Follow us on Facebook for more information about venues selling the quiz sheets, be the first to hear about any errata (hopefully there will be none!), and we’ll also be sharing some extra quiz questions over the coming weeks.

* £3 is added for International orders.

The current price is £2, and there are several cash prizes of up to £200.

Where to get it

Lions volunteers can often be found at supermarkets and other locations selling the quiz, and they are also on sale from other shops and locations. We are heavily dependent on the support of supermarkets and other local businesses and charities for their help selling the quiz (with charities retaining 50% of the sale value towards their own fundraising efforts).

A map of local stockists is available. Any local business that would be interested in helping us sell the quiz should contact us – we really would love to hear from you!

If you can’t get to one of the locations in person, then don’t worry because for a small postage and handling fee of £1.25 (no matter how many you order) you can buy them online. Or, if you prefer, you can send a large stamped addressed envelope with a cheque for £2 per quiz sheet to:

Peterborough Lions Quiz
63 Riverside Mead
Peterborough
PE2 8JN

Please make all cheques payable to Peterborough Lions Club and ensure adequate postage on the SAE.

All early orders will be shipped as soon as the quiz is available, however, cheques will be cashed on receipt (unless post-dated) due to bank cheque presentation deadlines.

Please consider purchasing online. We appreciate that many people are more comfortable with cheques and we will happily continue to accept that form of payment for as long as possible, However, buying online works out cheaper for you (because you’re not paying for postage in two directions) and it also works out cheaper for us (because cashing a cheque is now much more expensive for us than card fees are – how times change!).

Selling it on a 50:50 basis to benefit other great causes

Every year, many other great causes sell our quiz sheets for us, and retain 50% of the cover price for every quiz sold. This has allowed many organisations – other Lions clubs, Charities, Scouts & Guides, Hospital groups, churches, etc, to share over £90,000 over 17 years. The Quiz is quite well known across Peterborough (and beyond!) and often sells itself, and we’re always looking for new groups to work with directly, or for outlets looking to raise funds for their own chosen charity.

So, if you are a group looking to raise funds, or a shop, pub, workplace, or other potential outlet with a nominated charity, please get in touch!

Remember that this is zero risk to you: we cover all the printing and prize costs, there’s no minimum (or maximum!) number you can sell, and you simply collect half the cover price for each one sold. We offer this because, as a community organisation, supporting you with your fundraising is as important to us as fundraising for our own projects.

Thanks!

We’d like to offer a huge “thank you” to all those who sell and promote our quiz leaflet for us, including the locations on the above map. And of-course, on behalf of all the worthy causes that benefit from the funds raised, we would like to say thank you for taking part to everyone who buys the quiz, many of whom seek us out every year.

Terms & Conditions

About the quiz:

  • Quiz entries must be received by midnight on the closing date to be included in the prize draw. Peterborough Lions cannot take any responsibility for entries delayed in the post. All entries received before the closing date will be treated equally.
  • The prizes will be awarded to the first all correct entries drawn, in order, no later than the Peterborough Lions Club’s Business Meeting in the second month after the close of the quiz (we aim for the first month after the closing date). A full list of winners will be posted on this website shortly after that date.
  • In the event that insufficient all correct entries are received, the prizes will go to those entries with the highest number of correct answers, drawn at random and in order of prizes.
  • Whilst the utmost care has been taken to ensure the answers are correct and unambiguous, the Club’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
  • Please ensure adequate postage is applied; mail requiring a surcharge will not be collected. Additional details, including errata, winner list and answers, will be published on this website.
  • Only one answer per question is permitted but obvious erasures or corrections are acceptable.
  • All winners will be notified as soon as possible after the draw. Please enclose a large stamped self-addressed envelope with your entry if a printed copy of the answers is required.

About the information we collect from you:

  • If you supply an email address, then that email address and your name (but nothing else) will be retained so that we can notify you of future Peterborough Lions events. They  will not be used (nor sold) for any other purpose, and you can opt out from the emails at any time.
  • Otherwise we will only use the details entered on the quiz for the purposes of notifying you should you win a prize (and to send you a cheque!). 
  • Stamped addressed envelopes will only be used for their intended purposes (returning entered quiz sheets with answer sheets, or posting purchased quiz sheets). No data will be collected from them or retained once posted.
  • Returned quiz sheets will be securely destroyed within 3 months of the prize draw.
  • A list of winners will be published after the draw. This will include the first initial and surname of the winner, their town (and/or country, if outside the UK), and the prize value. This information will be available on this website and other places.

Errata

All quizzes are created fresh each year by our tight-knit team of volunteers – we don’t buy stock questions from a third party. To err is human, and despite hours of proof-reading and a team of testers we occasionally do make mistakes.

Errata for the current quiz are below (for past copies see separate page). But every year we sell thousands of quiz sheets and it is impossible to ensure that all purchasers see any corrections. For that reason, if a question has a correction below, then for fairness it will be excluded from marking.

2022-23 “Altered Images” Errata:

  • Q60: There is more than one common spelling of this name, but the correct one has the letters 9,9, not 9,8 as printed.

Feel free to take up the challenge of finding something we’ve missed – let us know if you think you’ve found something!
