Quiz News!
Quiz update
The 10th instalment of our regular winter quiz series on Wednesday 20th March saw a return to the winnersâ podium for T.B.M. â the only team this year to have beaten Wizard in open competition. Enchantress came second with a posse of teams grouped in third.
On the overall Leaderboard, there is still strong competition for the overall 2nd place with T.B.M. leading Corner Boys and Enchantress for that coveted (sic) position, notable to posterity.
Our next and final quiz of the season takes place on 3rd April combining a dinner and a quiz â all participating teams should reserve a place in the dining room. We look forward to seeing you all there, when dining will commence at 7.30pm, with the quiz kicking off at c.8.30pm.

Quiz Update
Sometimes, during one-sided contests, the spectators and commentators can be heard musing that perhaps if the organisers were kind they would end the contest early for the sake of all concerned, and to avoid needless injury (to body and pride). Well, that is exactly what happened in the Brains of the Bay quiz series on Wednesday night (6 March). Wizard, the team that everyone wants to beat - but canât â gained an unassailable lead in the overall series, successfully defending their title from last season. As they are all venturing to warmer climes for the next few weeks (I hear Italy is lovely at this time of year!) and will not be able to attend the final two quizzes, the Brains of the Bay trophy was presented to Wizard, led by a proud PĂĄid Cassidy, by our former Commodore Conor OâRegan (pictured). We want to offer Wizard heartfelt congratulations, wish them well, and we look forward to their attempt at the three-peat next season.
As for the other teams âŠ.
In the race for the runnerâs-up spot, T.B.M. and the Corner Boys are tied, ahead of Enchantress with these three teams likely to vie for the just-now-inaugurated Scott-Aldrin-White trophy commemorating some of historyâs also-rans. A bottle of Champagne awaits the winner(?). We look forward to welcoming all the teams back on Wednesday 20th March at 8pm sharp! where Wizard, despite their non-attendance, are only slight favourites.
