Quiz Final Winners!
- Location: The Cav
Congratulations to the winners of our Good Spirits Quiz Night Series - 'Cheatin' 2 Veg'
The format was simple, compete in a series of quiz nights and indulge in a few refreshments at your local Good Spirits establishment and earn points towards winning the grand prize, an all-expenses paid trip to QT for 6!
There's no question the stakes were high but this group of willing and determined lads from The Cav shed nothing short of blood, sweat and tears (and a few beers, well actually a lot of beers) to pull off an exemplary act of valor landing themselves the Grand Prize!
This Summer they'll be reaping the rewards, while the other teams mourn in defeat, these champions will dine like kings at some of Queenstown most note-worthy establishments. Whether it's the Pinot in the sun at Mt Difficulty, or a scotch fillet cooked medium-rare at Jervois Steak House nothing will ever taste as sweet as the victory itself.
Stay tuned for the next series of the Good Spirits Quiz!
