Essex Repeater Group win Inter-Club Quiz !!

The Essex Inter-Club Quiz was held at the Dengie Hundred Amateur Radio Society on Monday 28th November.

It was a hotly contested event and all of the many teams entering were in with a chance of winning.

At the end it was whittled down to just two teams. It was a dead heat between the teams from the Dengie Hundred ARS and the Essex Repeater Group led by Murray Niman G6JYB.

The Quiz Master David M1DOZ produced a final tie-break question to produce the overall winner which was “In which year was the first Eurovision Song Contest held” – neither team got it right, Essex Repeater Group said 1964 and Dengie said 1968. The correct answer was of course 1956. Since Essex Repeater Group were closest, they were awarded the Trophy.

The members of the winning Essex Repeater Group team were:
Murray G6JYB
Trevor M5AKA
Clive M0SIX
Carl G3PEM
Frances Thomson
John G8DET

The Dengie Hundred Amateur Radio Society organised a magnificent event. Both the hospitality and the food were absolutely superb. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.
