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.

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.

Round 8 of the National Yacht Clubâs popular table quiz took place on Wednesday evening (21 February), when 20 teams took to the tables to battle it out under the watchful eye of the Quizmaster. The theme of the evening was âno changeâ: the Corner Boys were rowdy, T.B.M. were nearly-men, the Celtic Boys were also-rans, âŠ.. and Wizard won!
An exceptional season for the reigning Brains of the Bay champions continued when Wizard scored 45 out of an available 50 points â a strike rate of 90%! Not surprisingly, Wizard strengthen their lead on the overall Leaderboard with three rounds to go, but retention of their title is not yet guaranteed, with the Corner Boys, T.B.M. and Enchantress (remember them?) all still in with mathematical possibilities of lifting the coveted trophy.
We reconvene on Wednesday, 6th March at 8.00pm sharp! All welcome.
