They’re not just pretty faces and tight leather trousers down at Prowler on St James Street they are pretty good at general knowledge too!
PROWLER came out top of the class with 89 points at the annual Golden Handbag Community Quiz 2019 at Charles Street Tap last night (May 21) which was hosted in majestic style by Lola Lasagne.
Bear-Patrol and Sea Serpents Ruby Football Club came joint second (88 points) with Bar Broadway and Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus in joint third placed (84 points).
Twenty six teams battled it out to win the first Golden Handbag of the season with the new Eurovision style voting bringing the evening to an exciting nail-biting climax with Prowler triumphant by one point.
All registration fees paid by the teams (£540) will be donated to the Rainbow Hub in St James Street, a new charity in its first year, to help deliver their volunteers programme.
Lola Lasagne said: “What a marvellous evening. I want to thank Sam, Ed, and all the staff at Charles Street Tap for their help making the evening go so smoothly, Nicki Delmege and Chris Goddard for their help adjudicating, Claire Fuller for sound, Rupert Ellick and DWNN for music and picture rounds, Kim Hobson, Robert James Taylor and the lovely audience. This is my favourite gig of the year and a community event we can all be very proud of.”
The purpose of the evening was to launch the voting for the Golden Handbag Awards 2019 which will be held at the Hilton Brighton Metropole on Sunday, June 23.
