SPR Pub Quiz, Wednesday 26 April, 2023
Kindly sponsored by CoStar

Once again, we returned to the Tokenhouse in Moorgate for our annual quiz night.  As popular as ever, 11 teams were put to the test by the formidable quizmaster, Andrew Marston.

The questions covered everything from sport, music and popular culture to history, current affairs and the natural world. The music round was eclectic, featuring questions on a Burt Bacharach theme, in honour of the composer who sadly passed away this February, through to 2010s drum and bass, via Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. 

This year’s event also included a picture round as well as a “Who Am I” round, the latter giving the teams the opportunity to earn up to 8 points if they correctly guessed the celebrity’s name from the first clue.

In spite of a strong performance, PMA were not able to hold on to the trophy for the second year running, with the honours instead going to the team ‘Détente’, with a score of 65. Ruth Hollies, CBRE and Mark Stansfield, CoStar gladly accepted the trophy on behalf of the team whose members also included William Muldoon and Lisa Dean, CoStar, Neil Blake, CBRE, Daniel McKegney, Heitman and Jeremy Marsh, Schroders. Second place went to ‘Quiz Akabusi’ and in joint third place came last year’s winners PMA and ‘In the Can’.

Drinks and refreshments at the quiz were kindly sponsored by CoStar, as well as by the Society.
