Quiz Update
February 4th 2026 was witness to a worldâs first when the National Yacht Club quiz welcomed the live participation of a quizzer in Australia. A member of the Chancellors joined via Zoom from down under to take part during his early morning. This antipodean perspective certainly helped Chancellors to a fine 2nd place finish in tie with contenders T.B.M., both just a point behind overall leaders and resident brains trust Wizard. The organisers of the quiz are satisfied that the integrity of the live quiz was not undermined by such a development. In two weeksâ time we expect to welcome a new team, the MAGAzines, located entirely in Greenland, and who have indicated that the NYC quiz is vital to their national security. Celtic Boys continued their run of good form with a 4th placed finish, followed closely by Stars of the Sea, the Corner Boys, Harmerang, and Quiztopher Columbus, with improved showings from F-15 and The Flyers.
Wizard have compounded their dominance of the overall leaderboard, but with discards about to kick in their lead over T.B.M. is precarious. Other teams are playing for local bragging rights which, this week, go to Quiztopher Columbus for their mini-victory over All At Sea.
Our next quiz takes place, sportingly, on the 18th February @ 8.00pm sharp! All are welcome.

A wonderful photo recently donated to the club shows the 1975 National Yacht Club rugby team. The jersey was designed by the late William (Bill) Hodnett. Many thanks to Billâs son, David, for donating this picture, along with a large collection of photographic slides taken by his late father.
Were you part of the 1975 team, or can you provide us with any further information on the game, the opposition, or any additional photos from the event?
We would love to know more!
