Please note that this event has been moved from its previous date of 4 December 2008.

Following on from our successful MegaQuiz events in Yorkshire and the North East, we are pleased to be working in partnership with EFD associates, Paul Mouzer and Phil Friend, to deliver another ‘quiz with a difference'.

The event is taking place at Birmingham City Football Club and will be an informal networking event for our members in the Midlands. EFD members throughout the UK are also welcome to attend.

Working in teams made up of organisations from all over the region, you'll battle it out using game show buzzers, working through a number of different fun and interactive quiz rounds. No knowledge of disability is necessary - just lots of enthusiasm and a desire to improve your knowledge!

Your compere for the evening will be Paul Mouzer, EFD associate and Director of Blue Mouse.

Why attend?

  • Network with other organisations in the Midlands region.
  • Develop an understanding of the barriers that disabled people experience when accessing services and be aware of how these might be addressed.
  • Develop your knowledge of the facts about disability.
  • Learn more about how to employ people with disabilities in your organisation.

Who should attend?

This event is intended for our members in the Midlands and the surrounding region. Spaces are limited to five per organisation.

""The event was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about disabilities and because it was informal meant it allowed for more open discussion, which was really useful. It was also great to meet delegates from other organisations, to gain their perspectives on similar issues. The quiz tasks were really informative and I have incorporated some of them into our in-house training, but most of all it was really fun.""
