Quiz Update
Quiz update
As promised, spring has arrived and the flowers bloomed at the quiz on Wednesday, 4th March. For one bed of roses, namely Stars of the Sea, this nearly resulted in a first win of the season, but their green fingers could not get them all the way to the flower show and they were pipped on the line by the denizens of Gardenersâ World that are Enchantress. This was Enchantressâs second win of the series and puts them in 4th place overall in the league table. T.B.M. won some valuable points by coming 3rd, ahead of Wizard, Chancellors, and the Celtic Boys. Flying starts by Tango and Celtic Warriors could not be maintained, and F-15 maintained their improved form.
