Rose Quiz 2004

Saturday, 21 August 2010
The all-conquering Rhondda Rosarians swep to their all-time sixth Quiz Champions Title last sunday. Beating off stern opposition from the South Yorkshire Rose Society and six other teams.

Led by captain Gareth Davies, team Rhondda's Pat Parker and Mike Thompson were unstoppable in a one sided final with Quiz Master Ron Niblett taking over from the retiring Quiz Master Jim Naylor. At his side was the perenial Chris keeping tabs on the scoring system which only Ron seemed to understand. West Midlands Rose Society Chairman Chris Warner presented the prizes to the winners and runners up.

The event was jointly organised by West Midlands and the South Yorkshire Rose societies.
