The question master was Mr. David Rees, who also compiles the questions for the league<\/p><p>The guest of honour, on this occasion, was none other than former &#8216;Mastermind&#8217; winner Shaun &#8216;The Dark Destroyer&#8217; Wallace from television&#8217;s &#8216;The Chase&#8217; who happily entered into the spirit of the evening by taking part in the Cup quiz.<\/p><p>The Cup was won, after a very closely fought contest, by a team from Tondu Railway Club.<\/p><p>Following a delicious buffet, kindly donated by the Club, there was a question and answer session compered by Mr. Andy Rudge where Shaun regaled his audience with anecdotes of his life and his experiences on &#8216;The Chase&#8217;.<\/p><p>Throughout the evening he tirelessly posed for photographs and selfies and chatted with many attendees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1b2c3d4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
