Venner Shipley Are Tops!

This article was taken from the Venner Shipley Newsletter edition 19.

We like a challenge and so when the opportunity to participate in a pub quiz organised by the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA) arose recently, we jumped at the chance! A team of six (Stuart Geary, Diana Pisani, Phil Harrison, Tanya Heare, Olivia Johansson and Sarah Al-Assam) battled it out against more than twenty other teams from London-based firms in themed rounds including science and technology, geography, history, sport, music and film.

Stuart and Diana were our true star performers, ensuring full marks in the history and general knowledge round!

Although it was tight between the top three teams for most of the quiz, Venner Shipley saw the fight through to the end, to finish joint first. Unfortunately, however, we fell down at the tiebreak question: ‘How tall is an Oscar statue in centimetres?’

Nonetheless, we were very satisfied with having put Venner Shipley firmly on the pub quiz map and we are looking forward to our next challenge. Oh, and for those that are wondering, the answer is 34.29 cm!
