The annual London alumni pub quiz proved to be a lively and successful gathering this year, with ten enthusiastic teams vying for top honors at The Devereux on 25 September. 

Emerging victorious were The Lemon Press, a full team of six, who claimed the first prize of a bottle of rosé champagne. Hot on their heels were The Barflies, who strategically played their joker during the geopolitics round, scoring a maximum of 20 points in round three and closing in on the leaders. In third place, Universally Challenged rounded off with a strong performance.

Meanwhile, The Utter Fiascos faced an unexpected challenge, missing four of their usual teammates. Despite this setback, they still secured a respectable fifth place - a valiant effort!

In the absence of long-time quizmaster Gareth Simkins, Jocelyn Abbey took on the hosting duties.  She was supported by Faith Ross, who kept a sharp eye on the scores and captured memorable moments in photos.

The evening was a great success, and we look forward to seeing even more of you at next year’s quiz!
