We have new kids on the block! Or at least new young professionals on the block with Teamtastic gaining a maiden victory in the quiz on Wednesday 13 November. During a terrific tussle that saw 13 teams within 2 points of the lead at halfway, Teamtastic had a fantastic middle round and saw off Wild Cards and T.B.M. in the closing stages to take the honours.

Following the re-emergence of the Corner Boys dinosaur previously, the overall Leaderboard (below) has a very open feel to it at this early stage of the season. T.B.M. currently occupy top spot, followed closely by Teamtastic and The Dirty Ruckers with reigning champions Wizard close enough in 4th.

Next quiz will be held on the 27th November at 8pm sharp! All are welcome.

As a test, the Quizmaster asked ChatGPT the questions that had been posed to the teams at the NYC quiz on Wednesday, 30th October. From this experiment, the conclusion can be drawn that some of the teams are no less intelligent than the artificial kind. And ChatGPT spilled its drink.

On Wednesday, a tight tussle that featured different leaders at different stages, eventually saw The Corner Boys arrive back in the bigtime, pipping perennial performers Wizard by a point, with the novices Quiztopher Columbus an encouraging third. Chancellors, who floated to the front first, finished fourth. The peloton was well grouped in behind, although horizon scanners spotted commodore-to-be Frank Cassidy somewhat adrift in his Cruising for a Bruising. Pull your oar out Frank!

As a post-script, Michael and Sara are consulting with the Quizmaster regarding the first quiz of the season. Although the result on the night stands, the allocation of points in the Overall Leaderboard table may be adjusted. Watch this space.

The next quiz will take place on Wednesday, 13th November. All are welcome to attend and participate, and we encourage all teams to be there and ready to go by 8pm sharp!

New year, new competition, new quizmaster – same result.

Congratulations to team Wizard who have kicked off their campaign for a ‘three-peat’ with a win in the first quiz of the Brains of the Bay series. Wizard pipped the other form teams from last year, Enchantress and T.B.M., by a single point. Good early performances also came in from The Dirty Ruckers, Teamtastic, and All At Sea.

The quiz was well-attended with 20 teams packing out the dining room. Thanks to Patrick Madigan for taking the microphone – he has been assured that his portrait will be hung in the gallery of venerable quizmasters.

The next quiz will take place on Wednesday 30th October at 8pm sharp! All members are welcome to attend and participate for a fun evening of only-sometimes-difficult questions. 

See you there.

While the Brains of the Bay champions Wizard are off sunning themselves in gentler climes, the final quiz of the 2023/24 season took place on Wednesday, 3rd April, when 18 teams joined us to dine ahead of a typically exasperating set of quiz questions. A competitive heat had several team teams lead the way through the evening, with Grasshopper, T.B.M., The Dirty Ruckers, and Celtic Boys all holding the lead at one point before Enchantress stayed on well in the home straight to storm clear.

It was some Enchantress-ed evening* (the Quizmaster has run out of magic-related puns) as Enchantress benefitted from a slip by T.B.M. to gain 2nd place in the overall series by the margin of a single point. Corner Boys did a Lazarus and came 4th, with Stars of the Sea continuing their good end-of-season form to take 5th spot overall. Former Commodore Martin McCarthy was on hand to present Enchantress their prizes on the night (pictured).

Through the winter, we had a big number of teams participate in the quizzes – 24 in total! – and each evening provides great competition and amusement. All members are encouraged to come along and join us in this enjoyable and sociable round of events. We will be back in October (dates to be confirmed) and all are welcome.

The 10th instalment of our regular winter quiz series on Wednesday 20th March saw a return to the winners’ 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 – 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.

What do The Corner Boys and The Salopettes have in common?  They have both come second to Wizard twice this season! Whether the comparison is to Manchester City, or Willie Mullins, or Ronnie O’Sullivan, it is clear that team Wizard have the quiz edge over the rest of the field. So far!

On Wednesday night, 7 February, Wizard won the 7th instalment of the NYC quiz series 2023/24, chalking up their 4th success of season with a deserved win over The Corner Boys by a single point. Tsuquizmi shone in 3rd with T.B.M. continuing their consistent run by finishing 4th.  Wizard have now moved to the overall lead with 4 quizzes remaining.

The Quizmaster has been asked to search for Wizard’s kryptonite –a reflection of the fact that the team must have superpowers. Has anyone got Lex Luthor’s phone number?

The quiz will resume on Wednesday, the 21st February, at 8.00pm sharp. See you all there.
