Wizard have been consistently at the top of the leaderboard for a few seasons now and we are still trying to find out their quiz weaknesses. Next year, questions will be based on the personal lives of Tango, Chancellors, and Harmerang to foil the Brainiest of the Bay.

We suspect that Tango, Chancellors, and Harmerang might not though do any better notwithstanding. T.B.M. finished a strong second overall, close to Wizard, and well clear of the third-placed Celtic Boys who showed strong end-of-season form. Ever reliable Enchantress came fourth overall, with Quiztopher Columbus and Chancellors finishing ahead of weakening former champions Corner Boys, in fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

Mentions also go to Stars of the Sea, The Dirty Ruckers, and Harmerang for completing the list of the top-ten teams.

Wednesday’s quiz was a welcome maiden victory for Quiztopher Columbus after five previous podium finishes. T.B.M. came second, ahead of Wizard in third, with Celtic Warriors showing improved form.

The quiz will now be lifted out of the water and put into dry dock until the autumn.

The Quizmaster would like to thank Sara and Michael for their work in administering the quiz, and all the participants who contributed to make it an enjoyable and competitive series; and we wish all the sailors fair winds and dry boats for the summer.

 As promised, spring has arrived and the flowers bloomed at the quiz on Wednesday, 4^th March. For one bed of roses, namely Stars of the Sea, this nearly resulted in a first win of the season, but their green fingers could not get them all the way to the flower show and they were pipped on the line by the denizens of Gardeners’ World that are Enchantress. This was Enchantress’s second win of the series and puts them in 4^th place overall in the league table. T.B.M. won some valuable points by coming 3^rd, ahead of Wizard, Chancellors, and the Celtic Boys. Flying starts by Tango and Celtic Warriors could not be maintained, and F-15 maintained their improved form.

There are only two quizzes left this season – 18 March and 1 April (final dinner). Competition for the overall Brains of the Bay title is still strong, with Wizard holding a lead over T.B.M. that, adjusted for discards, is closer than it seems. A good showing by T.B.M. in the home straight could bring the competition down to the wire, although a win for Wizard in either of the last two quizzes would probably seal the deal. There is also a tight competition for third between Celtic Boys and Enchantress. Stars of the Sea move up to 8^th. The overall leaderboard is available on the club noticeboard.

The next quiz is on Wednesday 18^th March at 8pm sharp! Two notable events that will take place between then and now are the races at Prestbury Park and St. Patrick’s Day (not to mention World War III). I wonder if any of those will feature in the questions…
