Quiz update
New year, new competition, new quizmaster â same result.
Congratulations to team Wizard who have kicked off their campaign for a âthree-peatâ 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 â 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.
