"West Midlands Regional Squad's SINS Quiz

Fiendish format to double your chances of winning!!!

Part 1

A paper based quiz will be available to buy (£1 a sheet) from the campsite information point from Friday evening and sold during the event on Saturday/Sunday. Those of you unable to come to Part 2 on Sunday evening in the barn on the SINS campsite may drop your quiz into a box at Enquiries in the Assembly area by the time courses close on Sunday. These will be marked separately and small prizes awarded the the first 3 correct/most correct entries. Do not drop your Pt1 sheet in the box if you are coming to the Sunday evening Pt2. !!

Part 2

Takes place on Sunday evening in the barn on the event campsite (2030 tart - 2130 Finish). Bring your Pt 1 sheet (also available to purchase for any last minute arrivals). Make up teams of 6 maximum (£5 per team) and pool your Pt 1 answers to maximise your chance of top marks overall (NB one Pt1 sheet per team counts towards the overall total).
