Quiz, 11 April 2024

5 teams vied for prizes at the 2024 CamSoc NSW quiz with a diverse team formed on the night called 'The Four CAMigos' triumphing. Congratulations to the winning team members:

Michael Wright (Trinity)
Bruce Sait (Magdalene)
Alexander Johnston (Corpus Christi)
Ant Bagshaw (Jesus).

It was a close run contest where all teams finished very close to each other on points, and the lead changed hands several times throughout the night. 

This was the third year we've run the quiz which goes from strength to strength with greater attendance each year and The Light Brigade proving to be an ideal venue.  Thanks also to our friends at Harvard who sent a team along.

Many thanks to Quiz Meisters Moray Vincent, Sally Bradley and Eddy Goldsmith who planned and hosted a most enjoyable evening.
