MANILA – British Ambassador Asif Ahmad recently hosted his first ever GREAT British Quiz Night for some media friends.
As the room filled with the merry din of animated chitchat, teammates assessed each other’s trivia prowess and put their heads together to come up with their team names.
British Ambassador Asif Ahmad welcomed his guests and introduced them to the GREAT campaign, a seven-month series of events that showcase the best of British business and culture.
Teams duked it out in five categories – Creativity (includes most pop culture), Knowledge (includes education and science), Culture (includes heritage, famous landmarks and food & drink), Bond & the Bard (James Bond and William Shakespeare) and This is GREAT Britain (general information).
The winners received GREAT prizes from John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, The Body Shop, TM Lewin, Pepe Jeans, and Abbeyhorn; however, no one came home empty-handed as raffle prizes were given away and goodie bags were handed to everyone, courtesy of the sponsors. Everyone left Ambassador Ahmad’s residence with happy faces and a GREAT taste of Britain. (Eagle News Service/British Embassy Manila)
