Around sixty members of BAR’s New Met Area and their guests gathered at the Novotel Heathrow on 24 November for a Christmas get together and festive quiz.

After enjoying an excellent meal it was down to the serious business of finding the brightest team in the room with Christmas themed questions put by quiz master John Luker.

It was no easy ride with questions on subjects as diverse as poetry, Christmas hits, ancient yuletide traditions and characters from Disney.  As if that wasn’t difficult enough the teams then had to identify 30 photos of celebrities disguised as Santa to complete the task.

After all the answer papers were called in for marking the winning team was finally revealed as Cadogan Tate Residential, with a magnificent score of 41 points out of a possible 60.  Team captain James Mehmet stepped up to the stage to receive the winner’s trophy from Red Recruit’s Ray Inskip, who sponsored the competition.
