THE BATTLE OF THE CLUBS

Naval Military & Air Force Club versus Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia Quiz Night Following some joint Twilight Sailing last summer, the latest instalment of the ‘Battle of the Clubs’ was hosted recently by the Naval, Military and Air Force Club on Friday 29 April with a well-attended Quiz Night. It’s always a pleasure to enjoy the décor and ambience of the NMAFC in Hutt Street as well as great food and friendly service. Each Club arranged four tables of eight to ten players to determine individual table winners along with the super important overall Club winner. Attendees answered seven rounds of questions compiled and presented by the MCs for the evening, NMAFC Club Secretary Mark Jennings and CYCSA General Manager Adam Hays. Competition was again very fierce and after a tight tussle through the entire evening the Naval Military and Air Force Club saw off the Cruising Yacht Club 205 points to 187.5, claiming the trophy for the time being until the return fixture back at the CYCSA on Friday 5 August. So far NMAFC have won two rounds of the Battle and CYCSA has won one so watch out for the next battle! There was a waiting list for the last round so I suggest you get your teams together and book early for the next one as they are great fun. Senior CYCSA members who are interested in the reciprocal membership arrangement at the NMAFC are also encouraged to contact CYCSA Reception for details. NMAFC President Captain Steve Pearson and CYCSA Commodore Jacqueline Heffernan are pictured below during presentations at the end of the evening.
