Bigger prizes at TMC’s Wisdom 2011

The keen enthusiasm and the competitive spirit displayed by the participants at each successive year have encouraged The Management Club (TMC) to hold Wisdom 2011 Quiz on Saturday 24 September, at the Grand Ballroom of Galle Face Hotel, for the sixth successive year.

TMC has decided to increase the prize money of the quiz this time and the overall winners will be awarded a cash prize of Rs. 75,000 in addition to the TMC Wisdom Trophy. The runners-up will receive Rs. 40,000 and a trophy. The 3rd, 4th and 5th placed teams will be awarded cash prizes of Rs. 25,000, Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively.

This year too the quiz will be conducted as a team event with five members per team. It will be open to four sectors – schools and educational institutions, public and mercantile firms, banks and financial institutions and independent groups.

Questions will be based on five subjects – current affairs, sports, general knowledge, space and astronomy and arts/literature and entertainment. 

Those who are interested in taking part could confirm their participation to the TMC desk at Galle Face Hotel along with the registration fee of Rs. 10,000 per team.

TMC has decided to extend a special concessionary registration fee of Rs. 8,000 for school teams in a bid to further assist the younger stars of the future on this knowledge enhancement initiative.

Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis as the number of teams will have to be limited to a maximum of 40 due to space constraints and other logistical arrangements.

Details can be obtained from the TMC Secretariat at Galle Face Hotel on Tel: 5860000 or by calling 0777418191.

TMC, formed in 2002 under the auspices of the Chartered Management Institute, has over the years grown to become a place for professional managers in Sri Lanka to network and interact while sharing and gaining from the experiences of one another.

It was in September 2006 that TMC launched a new knowledge development initiative when it organised its first-ever table quiz event with the assistance of the International Quizzing Association – whose Sri Lanka representative Ruwan Senanayake is one of its founder members.

Ever since then TMC has organised the Wisdom Quiz during the month of September every year and this quiz has now become one of the most popular table quiz events in Sri Lanka.
