EAST GRINSTEAD WINS THE PROVINCE 18 QUIZ 2010




THE WINNERS PRESENTATION BY PROVINCIAL PRESIDENT JOHN GRAMME

EAST GRINSTEAD WINS THE PROVINCE 18 QUIZ 2010

In a hard fought contest on Friday 26th February, 16 teams from 9 Circles vide for the prestigious Province 18 Quiz Shield, won on three previous consecutive years by Brighton Regency.
The result? Brighton Regency were piped at the post this year by a very strong East Grinstead team that also won the "buffet supper alphanumeric competition" (winning them an additional box of chocolates). Well done to East Grinstead.
The evening was very well attended by close to 90 brothers and wives, and raised three hundred pounds. Well done to the adjudicator/markers, Bro's Phil Gidman and Andrew Laird, plus Gerry Lydon and the Hall/buffet helpers. As well as the question setters Bro's Mike Newman and Dominic Moorhouse (who if Crawley volunteer to organise again next year have been asked to take off their 'professorial gowns' and simplify the questions just a little!)

Arthur McKivett Memorial Prize


On the 9th February the winners of the inaugural Arthur McKivett/Caritas award gave an interesting presentation at the joint Brighton Regency and Haywards Heath Catenian Circles' joint Clergy Night.


Rachel Harding final year student at the Cardinal Newman School in Hove worked very hard with fellow student Elizabeth Hubert to engage the lower years in the school in developing support for a charity called Marys meals. They had also been the driving force of a Christian Faith Exploration programme and prayer group for the 6th form and year 11 students. They were photographed at the Clergy night with Tom Perrin, President of Brighton Regency Circle, John Goulding, President of Haywards heath Circle and John Hayhurst, who was behind the idea for the award in memory of Arthur Mckivett, past grand President of the Catenian Association worldwide and a member of both Brighton Regency and Haywards Heath Catenian Circles.
