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!)

Lewes Catenian Group?

Brothers from Seaford, Haywards Heath, Brighton Regency and Brighton Catenian Circles will be in Lewes this weekend before and after masses giving information about the Catenian Association and there will also be pulpit presentations. This is at the behest of the new parish priest in Lewes who is keen on a Catenian presence in the county town. If there is enough support, a Catenian Group could be formed. I will post a report next week.
