"The annual Woolnoth Charity Quiz Night took place on 1st October, hosted by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

This year the event was full to capacity with 16 teams taking part from a wide range of institutions.

The man in charge of proceedings was Bank of New York Mellon’s Julian Tregoning, who put together an interesting and challenging series of questions, on an eclectic mix of topics. At the end it was a close run thing with several teams still in contention until the very end, with only a couple of marks in it – Barclays being pipped at the post by a team from Bank of New York Mellon. And just to show there was no home-advantage, it was a Royal Bank of Scotland team that picked up the wooden spoon!

Overall well over 100 people joined in raising over £3,300 for the Woolnoth Society. Thanks go to Cathy Sweeney, and Patty and Dave Wallis who did much of the organising work on the night, Julian for being an excellent and entertaining quiz master, and of course all those who showed up and handed over their hard earned cash. We all look forward to next year.
