February’s young professionals Thirsty Thursday event took place at the Standard Triumph Club in Coventry and was followed by the Insurance Institute of Coventry’s (IIC) annual quiz night.
This year we were pleased to enter three teams into the quiz and, although we didn’t make it into the top spot, we’re pleased to say that we didn’t come last! The three teams were made up of young professionals from Band Hatton Button, Legal and General, HCB Group, The University of Warwick, Lodders, Aston Martin and Wright Hassall.
It was great to see two new members come along from Band Hatton Button and we hope to see them again soon.
The young professionals support many of the IIC events, not least because one of our members, Michelle Varney, is heavily involved with the IIC committee and we like to give her the same support she’s always given us. A particular favourite IIC event for the young professionals is their Summer Ball which takes place at the Guildhall in Coventry.

On Tuesday 3 November we held a Halloween themed quiz in aid of our chosen charity, Myton Hospice.
We’re delighted to announce that with the team entry fees and raffle takings combined, we raised a fantastic £611 to add to our running total for 2015.
10 teams turned up to the offices of Stewart Fletcher Barrett in Nuneaton to exorcise their quiz demons and become the pride of Frankenstein (sorry, no more puns I promise!).
Poppleton and Appleby, who were actually a man down, won the quiz, with teams from Cranfield and Wright Hassall coming in joint second. Bringing up the rear, the team from Leigh Christou walked away with a set of wooden spoons.
The raffle was certainly a highlight of the evening, with some great prizes including tobogganing at the Snow Dome, John Lewis vouchers and paint balling for 10.
I’m sure all the attendees would like to thank YP committee member Paige Howitt for organising the evening, as well as her glamorous assistant Holly Brain. We’d certainly like to thank everyone who came for continuing to support both our young professionals group and Myton Hospice.
Our next event is on 5 November at 5.30pm and is our monthly Thirsty Thursday event. This month it will be held at The Stag and Pheasant pub on Lockhurst Lane, Coventry, and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
