Visiting team the Swallows, from the Swallows Restaurant in Hisaronu, flew away with the Challenge cup at the recent Çalış Carnival Annual Quiz Championship.

Winning team 'The Swallows' - Çalış Carnival Quiz Champions 2010

Twelve quiz teams, many representing local bars, together with their supporters packed into the Orient Express Restaurant in Çalış last Friday night in an attempt to win the coveted title of Çalış Carnival Quiz Champions 2010. 

The general  knowledge quiz of 8 subject rounds and a picture round of logos tested the teams, but at the end of the evening there was only one point between the Swallows and  second placed team Koşem Krew. Last years champions Cafe Pazar came third with Mutlu Crue close behind.  The Wooden Spoon was awarded to the aptly named team  “Who’d have Thought it”.

It was a good night for the Swallows as not only did they win the cup and a round of drinks but one of their team also won the bottle of rum in the roll a lira game. The Swallows will now  keep the cup to display in their bar for one year.  No doubt the Çalış teams will be anxious to win it back again next year.
