The ever-popular National Yacht Club table quiz resumes on October 18th next.
Each year, through the winter months, we hold a series of table quizzes every second Wednesday. The quizzes are a very popular and enjoyable social event with questions suited to all tastes and ages. Last year, we had a regular turnout of approximately 100 members and guests that made for entertaining evenings – as long as the Quizmaster plays along!
On 5 April, the final round of the winter table quiz series was held with 18 teams participating. We had an enthralling finish to a captivating season, where any one of three teams were in with a chance to win the overall prize.
Congratulations go to team WIZARD who won on the night and captured the BRAINS OF THE BAY TROPHY beating The Corner Boys and Enchantress into 2nd and 3rd respectively.
The 11-quiz series was a great success with 22 different teams participating throughout the series, as well as a Christmas dinner and a final round Club dinner to round off the competition, where the Commodore presented the trophy to the successful WIZARDS (pictured ).
We look forward to welcoming all teams (old and new) back next Autumn. We will kick off again on the 18th October (put the date in your diaries!) - watch out for updates in the Newsletter.

The 8th quiz of the season took place on Wednesday, 22nd February, and saw Wizard finally break the spell and weave a bit of magic. After four second-place finishes in a row, they finally won out, in the end by a comfortable 4-point margin.
The Overall Leaderboard (below) now includes discards, and sees Enchantress and Corner Boys tied for the overall lead. However, both those teams can expect the other teams close to them to get closer as earlier scores get discarded. It could all heat up towards the end of the season. Quizmaster anticipates a gripping finale on the 5th April.
The next quiz is on the 8th March @ 8pm sharp. All are welcome.
Round 7 of the Table Quiz series was held on Wednesday, 8th February, and produced a close and exciting finish, with T.B.M. prevailing for their second victory of the series. The bigger story of the night (pace T.B.M.) was the continuing saga of team Wizard occupying 2nd place again – the fourth consecutive second-place finish for the serious sorcerers! This run of near misses is enchanting us all. When will the spell end? Perhaps a series of questions on all things wizardry might add a bit of magic?
Round 6 took place on Wednesday, 25th January with the welcome addition of a new team of fresh-faced quizzers in Saturday Night Feva. Their first performance, under the stewardsip of Cillian Madigan, was remarkable considering that they were asked questions about TV comedies that appeared over 30 years before any of the team were born. We look forward next time to questions on influencers, Tik-Tok memes, and Minecraft.
At the other end of the leaderboard, Wizard only made their headache worse by hitting the bar again – that’s three seconds in a row. The beneficiaries were the Corner Boys who recovered their mojo to get competitive again, with Harmerang and T.B.M. making up the places.
Next quiz will be on the 8th February at 8pm sharp! See you all there.
