The Scottish Insurance Institutes Golf competition was held at Crieff GC on 17 August 2010. 

On 15th June members and guests of the IS of E were welcomed to the offices of Brodies LLP for an early evening seminar.

Alan Calvert and Alisdair Matheson, partners within Brodies, gave interesting presentations on the subject of an insurance broker's professional liability to its clients and insurers. This included reference to the ongoing Scottish Law Commission project on insurance law reform and practical case studies.

The Annual general Meeting of the Insurance society of  Edinburgh was held on 06 April 2010 at Standard Life House.

June Pennykid was elected as the President for the 2010/2011 year. June referred to the society's proud history but said that she would be looking to the future and to providing an enhanced offering to members.

Stewart Falconer (immediate past president) proposed a vote of thanks to outgoing president Ronnie Morgan and congratulated him on an outstanding presidential year during which he displayed great enthusiasm, energy, imagination and leadership.

At what is becoming one of the Society's most popular social events of the year, it was a close competition from start to finish. It was the final round that saw Dr Norman Dalgliesh's 'Maui Land & Pineapple' pip the Scottish Life select 'Quizteama Aguilera' to first prize at the annual quiz night.

With 12 teams competing to become ISE quiz champions and to go forward to the annual Inter-profession quiz night in April, members, their colleagues, friends and family were taken through their paces by our quizmaster Sion Matthews.

'Quizteama Aguilera', the 'Misfits' and 'Only Here for the Buffet' all kept close at the front in the early rounds with 'Ten York Place' and 'Six Pistols minus One' starting to catch up mid quiz.

However, with 20/20 in the final picture round, the team from Turcan Connell came charging across the finish line, with 'Quizteama Aguilera' finishing second, and the 'Misfits' taking third.

We hope to see more challengers come along in 2011 to see whether Maui and Pineapple, having improved their position of runners up last year to winners this year, can defend their title! Thank you to all the teams for taking part and supporting the evening, to the captains for their support and to our quizmaster. Start swotting for next year - 17th February 2011 - see our Events calendar.
