On 19^th November the Bristol Branch of the HA ran its second Pizza Quiz for local Sixth Formers.  As with our first event in June we had a large number of teams from local schools taking part.  The format was very similar to a pub quiz but with free pizza instead of drinks and it again took place at Bristol University.  Students from the PGCE course at Bristol acted as marshals for the quiz.  Mary Feerick, Rob Pritchard (Secretary and Treasurer of the Bristol Branch) and David Rawlings from Bristol Education Department acted as quiz masters.  The rounds were on popular topics at GCSE and A level plus some local History.  Students had some forewarning about the topics so they could mug up their knowledge.  Despite a freezing cold night, we had a great turnout of almost 60 students from 7 different sixth forms and it was both competitive and fun. Many teams played their Joker on the Tudors round. The winners were the Suigan Garrison from St Mary Redcliffe School with 62 points out of a possible 72.  They were awarded Bristol HA cups. 

Teachers got in touch to thank the Branch the next day “a huge thank you for the time taken to put on such an enjoyable Pizza Quiz.   Students really enjoyed themselves and it was a lovely way to spend a Wednesday evening.” (Rebecca Griffiths, Gordano School) and “Thank you for organising and running the quiz. It was very successful and the BGS students thoroughly enjoyed it.” (Andy Jarvis, Bristol Grammar School)
