If you want to try out the quiz, download this page, fill your answers in the last column and send as an attachment to the address at the foot of the page.
1)  Ignoring temporary things such as people, dogs, clouds etc. how many objects has Jol edited out to make the banner of Lytham Green and the Windmill appear so uncluttered?  
2) A website needs an identity which is provided by having the same format, often using a template, consistent styles and fonts and characteristic colours.  Not counting buttons and pictures, how many different colours of text are there altogether on the five pages?  
3) The Home page is the first page people will see.  It needs to make an immediate impression, be simple to understand and must download quickly.    Try starting from Google with a stop watch in hand and measuring the time taken for each of the home pages of Lytham, North Fylde AC, Blackpool & Fylde AC and Wesham RR to fully download.  Which is the quickest?  
4) Compare the Home page with the four parent pages.  Apart from having three times as many little running men what is the main difference?   
5)  The About Our Club page is specifically for newcomers.  What is the main piece of information missing from this page that new recruits are bound to want to know?   
6)   The main section where much of the information is printed is the body, which is organized by means of a table.  On Our Own Races page, the page designed to let club members know what is going on, the table structure is very clear.  Each cell of the nine-cell table has a different background colour.  How many background colours have been used in the five pages?  
7)    A hyperlink is an active area of the page that will take you to another page if you click on it.   The page can be in the same website or in a completely different website.  On the Other’s Races page all the links are to pages outside Lytham’s website.  How many different websites can be reached directly from this page?  
8)  Just below the banner on each page is a line of moving text.  The code, which gives this effect to web pages, is called marquee.  It’s a useful devise for drawing attention to an idea that can be expressed briefly and you’ll find a different slogan in marquee on nearly every page starting with the Club motto on the Home page.  Now if a hyperlink is a specific area on a page, can text that constantly moves, be made into a hyperlink?  
9)      Using the Championship page, how many different winners have there been of the James Brearley Cup?
