Warne, Norman

Norman Warne, a maths teacher, was an associate director of Exeter City.

Also known for organising quizes for supporters, he had coached schoolboy players in the past including - when working at Hele's School - future City player Harry Holman junior.

Elected by the supporters' trust, Norman was an associate director from 2003/04 in the early days of supporter ownership.

In 2003, with the club still reeling from administration and losing it's Football League status, Norman Warne decided to reconnect the club and the fans by holding a series of quiz nights.

Norman was a former Associate Director of the Club and a Maths Teacher in a private school. Norman still marks A Level exam papers today. His idea of having head to head quiz 'matches' in a league format was an innovation that caught the minds (in more ways than one) of supporters, groups of friends and workplaces around the city.

At it's peak, the quiz had close to a Hundred teams competing over three nights towards the end of each year. Unfortunately ageing competitors dropping out and the effect Covid had on how people came together has seen the number of competing teams fall somewhat over the last few years.
