Dora wins the newsquiz Champagne

The trainees in Northcliffe House this afternoon. Dora (centre) collected the newsquiz Champagne

The Daily Mail and Evening Standard trainees enjoyed another challenging week. They did, of course, work bank holiday Monday. Sessions this week were by the Mail lawyers, Editor Emeritus Peter Wright, who went through Ipso and the editor's code, and Mail on Sunday journalists Charlotte Wace and Jonathan Bucks. Last night the trainees met senior staff for drinks in the Greyhound.
As always we finished the week with the newsquiz. The joint top scorers this week are Dora Allday and George Bond who both scored an impressive 20 out of 25. Eleanor Sharples and Will Tilbrook both scored 16. It means Dora is the highest scoring reporter over the two weeks and collected the Champagne. 
None of last week's online quizzers came close to George's score of 21, although the drinkers in the Three Legs scored a creditable 17 (there were ten of them). Here's this week's newsquiz. As usual here are 25 questions about the week's events. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
