Reydon Community Quiz took place on 17 February with quiz master Brad taking charge. Quizzers enjoyed a wide range of rounds, some of which proved quite a challenge, but nonetheless very enjoyable!

Winners were ‘If Onlys ‘with 94 points, ‘Nirvana’ in second place with 118 points, followed by ‘Treacle Tarts’ in third place with 89 points.

With proceeds from the quiz and the raffle, the total raised was a generous £350. Reydon Community Quiz usually supports local charities and good causes, but it was requested by quizzers that this month we also make a donation for those affected by the terrible situation in Turkey and Syria.

Therefore funds raised by the January quiz have been split equally, with both £175 each sent to the Turkey & Syria Earthquake appeal via the DEC, and also to Southwold and Dunwich Lifeboat.

How wonderful for our community to be able support those both far and near who work to save lives. Our thoughts and appreciation are with you all, and those you help.

A huge thanks as always to our loyal quizzers, hosts Sole Bay Bowls Club and raffle helpers. Thanks also to Southwold Press for providing paper for the quizzes.

The next quiz will be held on Friday 17 March. Dates for the remaining quizzes after that are 21 April, 19 May (all fall on the third Friday of the month).
