 Ten teams of “treasure hunters” braved the rain on the evening of hursday 26th June to take part in the BII Pub Treasure Hunt, ponsored by Ecclesiastical.
After meeting at Utopia Bar, seams were given their clues and questions which led them to a variety of bars and pubs, chosen to suit different tastes, around
the financial district of the City centre. Teams visited Red Bar, Bennetts, Primivito, All Bar One and The Old Contemptibles, before returning to Utopia with their completed question papers! Legal and General 1” team and BHSF team (“The Alcoholics”) emerged as joint prize winners, scoring 40 from a possible 51 correct answers.The RSA team (the “Alcohooligans”) came a close second with 37.5 points. Despite a good effort,“Anika’s Himbo’s” of Allianz Engineering brought up the rear with 29 points.
For a good night out, watch this space for next year’s event! |

 The BII’s Ten Pin Bowling Competition, sponsored by Marquis & Lord, held at the Bowlplex, Broadway Plaza, attracted record numbers this year. Fourteen teams of up to six took part, from Giles, BHSF, BII/Webb Holton, Thompson & Bryan, Three Lions Underwriting, Special Risks Adjusting Group and Berrymans.
As usual, the evening generated some healthy competition, as well as cash toward the raffle, with prizes kindly donated by Giles. Dee Mistry from BHSF came a very close second in the contest, narrowly missing out by one point, to Simon Davis from Giles who scored 315! Siobhan Race of BHSF won Best Female, scoring a combined 277 points and achieving a ‘turkey’ (three strikes in a row). The Best Team winners were the BII/ Webb Holton (pictured above). Well done to everyone who competed in the tournament. |

On the 16th July this year nineteen teams lined up for this year’s BII 5- a-side tournament, sponsored by Everatt and Company Solicitors, held at the Powerleague. As ever, with this competition, it was a hotly contested tournament, with several teams being in contention for the winning spot. The semi-final between JLT and AIG was especially close, with AIG winning on sudden death penalties.RSA just beatWesleyan in the other semi-final and went on to meet AIG. AIG played a great game, but it was RSA who had the upper hand, putting three goals in the net and winning 3-0.
It was a really good evening of football and the standard was extremely high throughout
the league and knock-out stages. Many teams had brought their supporters along to
watch the matches, and many people made use of the bar to socialise and talk of goals
scored and the near misses!
Congratulations to RSA, they played extremely well and fully deserved their title. Next
year’s event is sure to be another close competition!
