BATTLE OF THE CLUBS QUIZ NIGHT

‘THE BATTLE OF THE CLUBS’ CRUISING YACHT CLUB OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA VS. NAVAL MILITARY & AIR FORCE CLUB ROUND 4 OF THE QUIZ NIGHT

Even though It’s now over ten years since the original Letter of Agreement regarding the intent to establish reciprocal membership between the two clubs was signed, the inter Club Quiz Nights have only occurred on four occasions so far, two at the NMAFC in Hutt Street and two at the CYCSA in North Haven. The last one was on Friday 5th August when the team from Hutt Street visited North Haven for a most enjoyable evening of food, wine, friendship and competition! Each Club arranged tables of eight to ten players to determine individual table winners along with the super important overall Club winner. Each team answered seven rounds of questions – on history, music, pictures, sport, geography, movies/TV and general knowledge – all compiled and presented by the MCs for the evening, NMAFC Club Secretary Mark Jennings and CYCSA General Manager Adam Hays. The skills, friendship and camaraderie that has developed between them both is certainly a bonus to each Club and much appreciated by members. Sadly for the CYCSA mob though, the disciplined team from the city were once again the victors with Navmil scoring 107.5 versus CYCSA on 83.75, making the overall score in the Battle of the Clubs 3 to 1 in Navmil’s favour. Commodore Jacq Heffernan consequently had once again to sadly pass the trophy over to NMAFC President Captain Steve Pearson, CSC, RAN. I think it’s fair to say that everyone is looking forward to the next round to be held in the new year, as well as some more joint Twilight sailing next Summer. Senior CYCSA members who are interested in the reciprocal arrangement at the NMAFC are encouraged to contact Club reception. 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.
