SVYC New Year Pub Quiz Draws a Full House

Published 11:15 on 7 Jan 2026

Sea View Yacht Club kicked off the New Year in fine form last Friday with a lively and well-attended pub quiz, welcoming 11 teams and around 80 guests to the club.

Teams put their knowledge to the test across five rounds and 50 questions, covering a wide range of topics including Isle of Wight nature and history, Americas Cup and SailGP trivia, and plenty of general knowledge to keep everyone on their toes.

With scores tight throughout the evening, the quiz went right down to the wire. Standout team Kings Company, led by Jonny King, emerged victorious to claim first prize. Hot on their heels were the Lawrence/Robins team, Squid Game, who narrowly missed out on top spot by just three points in a closely fought finish.

A special thank you goes to Chris Puddick for helping to host the evening, and to everyone who came along to support and take part, making the event such a success.

The next SVYC quiz will be appearing on the club schedule shortly, so keep an eye out for further details coming soon.
