The Wessex Grand Prix carnival circuit quiz, held at Kingdown School, Warminster, attracted 36 teams. Some had travelled from as far as Blandford and Castle Cary to take part.
Question-master Danny Howell, who organised the event on behalf of Warminster Carnival Committee, put the teams through five rounds, including true or false, famous names, four-from-six, television themes, and landmarks in English counties, before the final do-or-die accumulation round.
The winning team were the Diet Tribe of Warminster, captained by Mike Shorey, who scored 136 out of a possible 174 points. They received the Wessex Masterminds trophy, a bottle of whisky, and a £50 cheque to nominate to a charity of their choice. They chose to donate it to the Cancer and Leukaemia In Childhood Trust (CLIC).
Three teams: Warminster Running Club, Warminster Red Cross and The Leeks, tied on 124 points and places for second, third and fourth positions were decided by a tie-breaker question. The answers gave Warminster Running Club second place, The Leeks third place, and Warminster Red Cross fourth place. The Running Club and The Leeks received wine, and the Red Cross won a Mastermind quiz book.
