The City of Newport Business Club announces their end of Season business meeting with an interesting twist – ex BBC TV Egghead panellist, CJ de Mooi will actually host a quiz evening for members and guests on Thursday 14 May at The Holiday Inn, Newport.
Probably one the country’s most recognisable quizzers from his 10 years on Eggheads, CJ de Mooi will entertain City of Newport Business Club guests with his own formulated quiz.
Following huge success with Eggheads, his solo spin off series Revenge of the Egghead, aired last year, was well received. He is also an actor with a string of west end credits to his name, and his debut feature film, The Renata Road, will premiere at this year’s Cannes festival.
He is currently writing his autobiography and his previous book How To Win TV Quiz Shows, topped several Amazon charts. CJ is also a high level athlete, specialising in long distance running. He won the celebrity race at the 2014 London Marathon and this year he fulfilled his ambition of breaking the magical 3 hour barrier, completing the gruelling course in 2hrs 58.30.
A former Mensa chess champion, CJ has immense experience within the quiz and game show genre.
The Club’s Chairman, Janine Dance commented: “Yet again we thought we would end the 2014/15 season with another one of our trademark, unusual, end-of-season events. We look forward to welcoming Newport’s finest quiz players for what will be, I am sure, a most entertaining, fun and knowledgeable event”.
The event, which is open to all business people, takes place at the Holiday Inn, Newport on Thursday 14 May 2015 at 5.30pm and cost £35 per person.
