Mark and Anita at the Ring o' Bells have kindly set another 3 Quiz Night dates for friends of Marple Memorial Park.
That's Thursdays 13, 20 & 27 February starting at 9pm (better to get there about 8.30 to ensure a seat).
The quiz costs £1 per person to enter, all of which goes to the supported cause. There is also an "Open the Box" competition that costs £1 per ticket with 50% going to the cause and 50% to the cash prizes. This has 12 boxes and a number of them will have £50 cash prizes with some other good prizes too and a few boobies!
The first prize for the quiz is 8 free drinks to be consumed on the night or the following week. The second prizes varies but is usually a bottle of wine or 4 bottled drinks.
The quiz comprises 40 general knowledge questions, a music round with 10 tracks and a picture round (or dingbats that drive you nuts).
There are handicap / bonus points based on the size of your team (4 in a team is standard) and there are also penalty points for previous winners and runners up to level the playing field a little more.
It's a good fun night and has raised lots of money for local causes over the years - well worth supporting and especially when it's for your local park!

A bump to remind everyone that the first of three more quizzes at The Ring o' Bells for the Skatepark Development Project start this Thursday 13th February.
The Ringers has raised a brilliant £819 for the project so far and a really good turn-out over the next 3 weeks could turn that into a 4 figure sum, which would be fantastic!

£63 raised for the Skatepark Project at the Ringer's Quiz last night.
Thank you to Eddie for standing in as Quiz Master while Mark and Anita enjoy some winter sun!
Same time, same place next week - please come along and show your support.

A quieter night but still £49 raised for the Skatepark at last night's quiz.
Last of current 3 quizzes is next Thursday 27 February. Need a really good turnout to break that 4 figure total but we'll be close.

A busier quiz night at the Ringer last night raised £65.50, leaving us a desperate £3.50 short of that four figure target!
Thanks to regular Quiz Team "The Kitty", who kindly donated £3.50 to make up the shortfall, the Ring o' Bells Quiz Nights have now raised a fantastic £1,000 towards the Marple Skatepark Project.
So a very big thank you to Mark and Anita at the Ringers for their superb support of Friends of Marple Memorial Park!
