The Quiz was a HUGE success...

Thank you so much to all of you who came to our pub quiz last night and to those of you who bought raffle tickets even though you could not make it. You were all hugely generous for a very very deserving cause.

We made a whopping £851.65 last night, so thank you so much. With other donations we have been given by cheque and with the totals on justgiving, including giftaid, we have now raised over £5,000 for the SIA.

We really, really appreciate all your support and the SIA will as well – the amount of money we have raised can do so much good and it is all thanks to our friends and family… Now we just have to run the blooming thing!!

Thank you so much again, you are all total legends. Hopefully see lots of you on 26th April for the ‘big day’.

Quiz results:

Three teams were tied at the end of the quiz: Tishy's Troops, Dream Team and Norfolk in Chance... This meant that there had to be a tie breaker to determine the winner - a member of each team was selected and Jamie Wallace (Tishy's Troops), Tom Wallace (Dream Team) and Harry Mercer (Norfolk in Chance) headed to the front of the room to fight for the ultimate glory...

Quizmaster extraordinaire Ed then listed a number of things which all happened in a certain year and the boys could shout the year as soon as they were confident of getting it right - if they got it wrong, they could not try again...

Harry shouted out 1996 after Ed mentioned Independence Day being released - the whole of 'Norfolk in Chance' wailed 'Nooooo!'. Oh ye of little faith... They were wrong and Harry was correct so the winners of the 2009 SIA pub quiz were Norfolk in Chance!

Extremely generously, the team then re-donated the cash prize of £60 back into our charity pot - very very kind of you guys, thank you!
