Team Diageo beat off some stiff competition in The BFF's Magnificent 3rd Annual Quiz to keep a firm grasp on their kings of trivia crown.

With some deft handling of both the high and not-so-high-brow sections, it was left to captain Rachael Robertson to collect the trophy - and a rather nice Parker Duofold fountain pen - for the second year in succession.

Once again the event was held in the wonderful setting of the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall. BFF Director Mark Cann had arrived back in London, after delivering two output shows to troops stationed in Oman, just in time to take up his Quiz Master duties.

There followed five rounds of questions to tax the brains of the 13 teams in between a three-course meal, raffle and Silent Auction.

Diageo's winning score of 36 out of 50.5 was two and a half points clear of their nearest rivals, BlackRock, with Barclays Wealth just one point further adrift in third.

The British Forces Foundation would like to thank all of the teams who supported the event and those companies who donated prizes and auction lots.
