We attended the Cornwall Philatelic Federation inter club quiz on Thursday 13th October at the Yeolmbridge Methodist Church, Ladycross near Launceston. Four clubs entered teams, they were Falmouth, Launceston, Newquay and St Austell. After much head scratching and team discussions, Falmouth came out as the winners, beating Launceston by ten points. We would like to thank Launceston Stamp Club for hosting the event and for the excellent food they provided. A very enjoyable afternoon was had by all.
