Boston Quiz League Success for BGS alumni

Thanks to Nick Charlton for this report on the Boston Quiz League results.

In Division 1 the winning team was from the Little Peacock, featuring Stephen Barker (former BGS student, second from left) and Richard Anderson (former BGS staff, third from left).

Knockout winners were White Hart A featuring (from left to right) Nick Charlton, Howard Charlton and Andy Boyer who are all former BGS students. The fourth team member was Neil Wilkinson.

Coming second in Division 1 was the same team from the White Hart.

The winning team in the sport and entertainment quiz was also a team from the White Hart, with Nick Charlton replaced by Mick MacShane, because Nick was the question setter for this competition.

OBA Quiz Night 2016

The Old Bostonian Association Quiz Night 2016 took place on 25 February at the Boston and County Club. The quiz master was Richard Anderson and there were teams made up of BGS old boys, current students of the school, BGS staff and old girls of Boston High School.

In a reverse of the 2015 scores Urban Bunny (left one member short this year with the absence of Nick Charlton) and a team led by Richard Cammack (this year called The Frankless Tasks presumably because Frank Cammack was replaced by Nicola Cammack) came second and first respectively in the qualifying round, and first and second after the final quick fire buzzer round.

I would like to thank Thomas Vamplew of BGS Y13 for the record of the scores.
