Youth of Winchester Quiz Night was a Success!
The Youth of Winchester Quiz Night was held in the Winchester Guildhall on the 4th March 2011. It was the second such event held by the Youth of Winchester district youth council. The Quiz Night was attended by around 40 young people aged between 12 and 19, aswell as some of the local councillors, who competed in the quiz and socialised amongst their groups - encoraging them to converse with each other.
Before the event, Phillipa Little, the Chair of Youth of Winchester said that "one problem faced by young people is our lack of involvement in local decisions: if we can close this communication gap with events like the quiz, the other important youth issues like transport will be better listened to".
The quiz consisted of nine rounds varying from Local general knowledge to Country shapes and famous quotes. There were 5 teams who competed in the quiz and it ended with one winning team, two teams drawing in second place and the other two teams drew in last place! Prizes were awarded to the Winners and the two runner up teams aswell as prizes for the "Best Hair"; "Loudest Team"; "Best Team Work" and many more.
Youth of Winchester District Youth Council hold meeting once a month to give a voice to issues effecting young people. The next Youth of Winchester meeting is on the 22nd March 2011 at Osborne School . YoW is supported by both Winchester City Council and Hampshire County Council.
