The Just Beer boys are sponsors on the night so the Beer will be Cold, Wet and Plenty for all.

XinXing, along with the Australian Consulate, Austrade, AustCham Shanghai, the Australian Women’s Social Group and the Shanghai Tigers, will again be hosting the Wizz Bang Quiz night on May 9th this year. The Quiz night is one of our major fundraising events and is a great night out too!

Where: Hyatt on the Bund, 199 Huang Pu Rd
Price: 350 RMB including dinner and drinks

The money raised will help the XinXing team to continue their great work with underpriviledged kids in central China.

Thanks to our Gold Sponsors: Bluescope Steel, Pacific Network Global Logistics and Hyatt on the Bund.

Bashers Week Quiz Results

Another big night. Those missing out – missed out! A big welcome to the various newcomers to the world of Bashers trivia, it’s really not a bad place.

Once again the Drop Bears cleaned up taking a hat-trick (yawn). Another case each of Just Beer goodies for them. Some steady competition in the rest of the pack. Some adjusting to the new innovation of a buzzer round well – others not so – as evidenced by a couple of negative scores. A few new sections, including a Gashers section. One wonders why the WAGS didn’t have the confidence to pick that one as their wildcard. See fellas, even they don’t understand women. They did manage to take home a bottle of Vodka for their efforts though, no doubt they’ll be using that at their next secret meeting in some sordid and secret manner. Ethnicity picked up the JD by a narrow margin, until baseless accusations from I’m Easy had them rightfully ejected and the margin widened. Thanks to Katie (no show again) for shouting everyone a round of Sambucas, very kind of you. Stay tuned for the next quiz – probably just before the break of summer – big things in store for that one. For Statsie the total scores of all teams for each section went as follows; Sciences:175, Arts:270, World:224, China:365, Bashers:340, Gashers: 285. Teams making the wisest wildcard choice: Drop Bears only! Total Points scored: 2022 out of a possible 5500 at an average of just under 289. Best score in a section: Drop Bears with 180 in the China section. Worst: I’m Easy (-11) in the World section.

Reminder: QUIZ!TONIGHT!

Final reminder for tonight’s QUIZ @ The Big Bamboo from 7:30 PM. Get in early, get your teams ready as this is going to be a great night!

See you @ The Boo tonight!

Stay Loose.

The Professor is really leaving

But before he goes he leaves us with what we do not know. he is ruthless and he is basher to the core. thank you Mister The Prof. Black friday  and it rained. Trans-tasman tension is peaked but who knows more useless info, that’s what we really want to know. here is the raw data. thank you all. and apart from  that 2320RMB for the badly burnt Victorians. Good Job Bashers. You give meaning.

The Prof’s Final Exam

As mentioned elsewhere here comes a great opportunity to get out from under the blankie and down to the Sticky Wicket bar at the bamboo for the final Hadlee Chappel match at the Gabba followed by your opportunity to make use of all that time spend on Wikipedia.

Teams of four are recommended – if you have no friends that’s okay – just show up and we’ll slot you in somewhere (it’s like speed dating)

If you do have friends, bring them all!

100RMB per head and many many great prizes.

There is no end to the Prof’s useless knowledge…

clues? what clues?
