Marred by late withdrawals (as is traditional for any Brass Band 
Contest), City of Birmingham's annual Quiz, "Brains of Brass", 
attracted nine teams from around the West Midlands to Lloyds Bank 
Sports Club on Saturday 9th October, including a guest appearance 
from Mr B Hurdley Esq., fresh from Cornwall. Treated to a broad 
range (occasionally bizarre, warped and lunatic) of questions the 
contest was keenly fought throughout and without the usual disputes 
on the subject of golf.

A team from the Staffordshire Band - curiously named Haggis, 
Mushy Peas and Two Faggots - were the eventual winners, 
prevailing over City of Birmingham and a combined team from 
Amington/Sovereign who were joint second. Not far behind in fourth 
place were a team from Shirley Band, finally relinquishing their iron 
grip on the title.

The objective of the quiz was to promote social activity between the 
various bands of the West Midlands and beyond and it is intended to 
hold a Brains of Brass IV on the same weekend next year, so keep 
your diaries open and sharpen your brains for that.
