One comment on “Sir Arthur C Clarke Challenge Trophy 2011”

1. It was a proud to participate in such an important Quiz competition!!!!
   It was really useful in many aspects. Anandians had done something beyond a competition. As i think, that what we want in School Astronomy Field.

   We won the Uprising Championship representing St. Sylvester’s College and it is exactly a proud memory to have. In that achievement, a speacial thank goes to AAA because they held an exam centre at Kandy also. It was really helpful! So thank u again AAA …….! Best wishes for ur future!
