(Posted in Oct 2010)

Another successful Quiz Night was held in the Turret Theatre on Sat 23rd October. Thanks to Iain and Sheena Carmichael for all their research in setting the questions and organising the event, it was a thoroughly enjoyable occasion. This year the event ended in a draw between Stranraer (Graeme Carmichael and his friends) and Berwick Rangers (Shirley and Russell Angus and Lorna Campbell). A tie break question saw Graeme’s team as overall champions. The evening finished with Chinese food and many discussions about the answers that everyone thought they knew. Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation. Time to start studying in preparation for next year!!
