Every Sunday at 6.30pm another slice of Stewart Island life is served - the world famous 'Stewart Island South Sea Hotel Pub Quiz'. Registrations start at 6pm and half an hour later teams are seated and waiting for Vicki the Quizmistress to blow her whistle signalling the start of this weekly ritual. There are 6 sets of 5 questions each, plus 10 pictorial questions - each team gets a black and white copy of these and a coloured version is hung up on the wall. Inbetween each question set Vicki gives a clue to a separate question and a member of each team goes up and whispers what they think the answer may be. If no team guesses correctly then another clue is given at the end of the next set. The more clues, the less points.

The questions aren't easy! It pays to have six team members who are specialists in history, sport, geography, language, television and trivia - oh, and politics, anatomy, engineering and ecology would help too!

Our game sheet was a combined effort but despite good intentions we only got 28 out of 40.
Heaps of fun though and a great fundraiser teamed up with good food, a pint of beer and guaranteed laughs.
