British Heart Foundation quiz questions, help required . . . . .

[Westfield-builder]

Hi,
As some of you may or may not know, I suffered a heart attack a few years ago at the ripe old age of 50

. Happily I was treated at James Cook hospital in Middlesbrough within an hour and made a full recovery.

Since then I have been organising an annual quiz night to raise money for the British Heart Foundation every February. Along with my family and friends, and the generosity of lots of local businesses who donated raffle prizes, we have managed to make over £2000.00 each year.

I usually set six rounds of ten questions and have them ready in plenty of time before the quiz night. However; because I have been so busy with work, this year I am just starting to set the questions.

I am hoping that all you good forum members may be able to help me by suggesting some questions in the following categories;

Sport
Science
Music
General Knowledge
Hearts

I also like to finish the night with a round of local interest questions, so if anyone is local to the North East (particularly, Co. Durham), please feel free to add some.

Any other suggestions to help us raise some cash will be gratefully accepted.

Please note; this is a family friendly quiz, just as this is a family friendly forum

Thanks, in anticipation of any assistance.

Jon

But surely Windermere is a Mere, not a lake? Bassenthwaite Lake is the only lake as far as I can see, but if you're counting Meres, then there is Thirlmere, Buttermere and Grasmere as well! The lakes are not so straightforward it seems! Doubtless a Cumbrian will be along to clarify shortly.
Meanwhile, one of my favourite trivia questions, everyone has heard of Timbuktu, but which country is it in? (Darkest Africa is a nice answer, but sadly it's not the right one!)

That is not correct Windermere is a mere, the only body of water traditionally named a Lake, in the english Lake district is Bassenthwaite Lake.

A sport question could be who was the 2015 0pen british fell running champion answer :- Finlay Wild
