YSC team triumph in RNLI Inter-Club Quiz

On 7 March our team participated in the final of the RNLI Inter-Club Quiz at the Island Sailing Club, competing against teams from the East Cowes Sailing Club and the Royal Solent Yacht Club.  The event (which was the culmination of two earlier heats) raised money for the RNLI and the Headway head injuries charity.

 

The final was a hard fought contest, with members of several teams freely exchanging opinions with veteran quizmaster Mark Wynter.  However, eventually YSC emerged as convincing winners, and the club is now the proud holder of the Peter Thorneycroft trophy (for the first time in the twenty year history of the contest) which can be seen above the bar.
