Exercising the grey matter on Quiz Night

“You have to know a lot about nothing”, was the advice from one of the contestants at a recent summer quiz night at the Squadron.

With questions supplied by Believe it or Not, New Zealand’s largest provider of weekly pub quizzes, trivia, quiz questions and quiz nights to the corporate and charity sectors, members’ and guests’ knowledge was tested in a variety of subjects including, Sport & Games, Music, TV & Cinema and, of course, Who is behind that Mask?

Teams can have a maximum of seven players, so if you are sure you will know, or can guess the answer, register your team by emailing bwoodworth@rnzys.org.nz. Prizes include a $100 RNZYS gift voucher for the winners, plus wine for second and third.

The next quiz dates are March 3rd, 17th & 31st.

This substantial masonry residence, with its own 16m marina right on its doorstep, is located on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. A magnificent home, it will satisfy quality seekers with an eye for detail. Unexpected bonuses include a completely separate, self-contained apartment with its own external access as well as a private ‘internal courtyard’ off the living area of the main home. A spectacular 3m high gallery-like entry, a sunken lounge and a stunning new kitchen with generous, adjoining scullery is an uncompromised, just completed addition to this showcase of sheer good taste. A wonderfully relaxed lounge area lit up by skylights adjoins the kitchen. Undoubtedly the ‘piece de resistance’ is the generous main suite. Set above the living area, its ‘look out’ aspect over the boats to the harbour and the Sky Tower is breathtaking. Add a luxurious ensuite and huge customised wardrobe and you have the ultimate retreat. Large garaging, generous storage throughout and a separate office complete what must be one of the most outstanding properties on the peninsula. uprealestate.co.nz/16007176 Mark Wilson 021 970 006 5
