[29/06/10] 'THE
BIG QUIZ' IS A BIG SUCCESS!
Alan
‘Deadly’ Dedicoat returned to Weston last week to host
a Big Quiz Night in aid of Sunshine Hospital Radio and Worle Community
School .
The ‘Voice
of the Balls’ was in fine voice as he tested the general knowledge
of nearly 200 competitors at the charity quiz evening held at Worle
Community school.
The teams
were competing against each other in a bid to win the much sought
after ‘Golden Microphone of Wonder!’
Speaking during
the break Alan said: “I’m having a really good time!
I'm pleased that so many people have turned up, and am delighted
to be able to return to Weston to run this quiz.”
“Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, and are giving
it their all.”
Alan hosted
a quiz night in 2008, organised by Sunshine Hospital Radio and Worle
Community School, to raise money for Children in Need, and Alan
was more than happy to return for another quiz night to benefit
the organisers.
Many local businesses
had donated prizes for the ever popular raffle which included, champagne,
cider, hampers and gift vouchers.
Helping out with the raffle, Town mayor, Councillor Phillip Judd
attended the event but admitted that quizzes weren’t his strong
point.
He said: “I
am pleased to come along to show my support but I haven’t
entered a team as I am not great at quizzes!”
“There are a lot of teams taking part, and I wish them all
luck.”
After five competitive
quiz rounds, a raffle and a charity auction the top team on the
night were The BJ’s and Alan proudly awarded them the ‘Golden
Microphone of Wonder’.
Finishing in last place and winning the wooden spoon were Partridge
Pie.
The evening
raised a whopping £1207.01 which will be shared equally between
Sunshine Hospital Radio, to help purchase a new computer server,
and Worle Community School ’s Minibus Appeal.
Sue Walker,
Chairman of Sunshine Hospital Radio said “I 'd like to thank
everyone that made this evening such a success. We’ve been
overwhelmed by the generosity and thoughtfulness of everyone that
attended and the local businesses that so kindly contributed raffle
prizes.
As before, Worle School provided a wonderful venue and we look forward
to the next, even bigger, quiz night!”
A BIG thank
you to all of the local business’ and companies that donated
prizes: Asda
