Reydon Community Quiz Report – April 2025

The final quiz of this season was held on 18th April with guest quizmaster Graham, with all sorts of rounds to get the quizzers thinking, and a very enjoyable evening was had!

Winners were ‘What the Ecc?’ with 117 ½ points; in second place, ‘Who are we?’ with 115 points; and in third place, ‘Nirvana’ with 109 points.

Together with proceeds from the raffle, the evening raised a generous £312.

In her absence, the quizzers voted to donate the proceeds to Amanda Humphry’s London Marathon charities – Breast Cancer Now, Prostate Cancer UK and The Brain Tumour Charity. Further donations were also generously made by quizzers. Amanda is thrilled and humbled by everyone’s kindness and support, and sends a huge thank-you to everyone for their generosity. (By the time you read this, hopefully her legs will have recovered from the Marathon, which is on 27th April!)

This was the final quiz of the season. In total, we have raised £2,215 and have supported New Leaf for Reydon and Southwold, Southwold and Dunwich RNLI, Reydon Christmas Lights, Guides/Brownie/Rainbows & Scouts/Cubs/Beavers, Friends of Southwold Library, Southwold & Reydon Pantomime Group, and Amanda’s London Marathon charities.

A great season! Special thanks to everyone who wrote and presented quizzes (which is never an easy job!), and huge thanks as always to our loyal quizzers for their generosity, participation and support, to hosts Sole Bay Bowls Club, and Jim, Steve, and other raffle helpers. Thanks also to Southwold Press for providing paper for the quizzes.

The new season will start in October and we look forward to seeing everyone then. There is sometimes space for another team, so do contact me if you are interested in joining us for the new season, at ahumphry@talktalk.net.
