1st Sunningdale’s recent Quiz Night at Holy Trinity Church was another very successful evening. With over 160 attendees across 20 teams, the Scout Group was able to raise £4,413 and with fund matching this will rise to a fantastic £6,847. We will be making a donation of £700 to Holy Trinity Church, as they are fund raising hard for their own building project, “Transforming Trinity.” It is an amazing result, all of which could not have been done without the involvement of the Executive Committee and Leaders, so a huge thank you to everyone involved.
The evening started with excellent Hog Roast supper provided by Harold’s Hog Roast, whilst the bar kept the participants refreshed. A raffle and silent auction, with a fabulous range of prizes – generously donated by local companies – also proved popular.
The quiz consisted of 6 rounds across a range of topics, with a fiendish picture round and was hotly contested with the leading team changing hands throughout the evening. In the end it was a VERY close finish, with the top teams having just one points difference. Our winners were ‘Beer Prepared – Take Two’ (see photo) with a score of 110 points, who just managed to see off ‘Curry Club’ with 109 points and ‘Digging for Victory’ and ‘No Great Expectations’ in joint third position with 108 points.
Quizmaster and Chair of 1st Sunningdale Scouts, Michael King, says “It was another wonderful evening, with great people, an incredible atmosphere and delicious food. Most importantly we raised an amazing amount of money for our new Scout hut and another positive step towards our fund-raising target of £300,000.”
Special thanks must go to our sponsors for the night and to all the local companies that donated prizes. Thank you for making it an unforgettable night. It was such a success and we hope to see everyone again ….on 24th March 2023 for the next Quiz Night”
