Quiz Nights Blast Off

Posted: Friday, 07 November, 2008

A nail-biting finish to the first of the new quiz night series on Friday (7th November). Excellent evening, some very in-ter-esting questions and the start of a gourmet challenge on the 'bring your own nibbles' theme. Plenty of scope for more teams:- you have a month to polish the brain cells before the next round on 12th December. Losing team must set and present the next set of questions - well done, Andrew Folkard's team. We look forward to your challenge.

A truly successful weekend. Fifty entries, sunshine and good sailing breezes. Well done to the organising team… and here’s an extract from an e-mail just received from Don Findlay, our guest race officer:- “Thank you for making us so welcome. It is a joy to come to WYC each year. I cannot stress too strongly that the control of the RIBs and drivers by Ian is exemplary.” Congratulations to Rob Laws and Stuart France, first WYC boat at 6th overall.
