Meanwhile the Mail trainees did journalism with Mike Watson and Fiona Webster, explored the world of photography with Martin Stephens and visited the Hull Daily Mail offices. The sports trainees worked a live Europa League session at PA's operation centre on Thursday night.
As always the week ended with the news quiz. It is either getting easier or the message is getting through that journalists need to keep up to speed with the detail of the news. Three Mail trainees scored a highly impressive 20 out of 25. They were Michael Owens, James Restall and Lydia Willgress. Catherine Hardy came close to joining them with a score of 19. The Telegraph’s top scorer was Olivia Rudgard with 15.5, narrowly beating Izzy Fraser with 15. So, can you do any better? If you get more than 20 out of 25, you can give yourself a huge pat on the back.
