29^th Annual Christmas Charity Quiz

ANSWERS & WINNERS

This 2023 quiz has now closed and all entries have been now marked

Thank you for supporting our Charity Quiz.
We hope you enjoyed the mental stimulation over the festive season.

The standard of entries was very high this year with nearly all the entries scored over 90% correct; if so, I think you can claim a moral victory especially for those who only had spelling mistakes!

This year has been a good year bearing in mind the difficult economic climate and are very grateful for your support.

However, you may be pleased to hear we hope to raise over £5,000 for charity this year through the Quiz.

Remember if you nominated on your entry form one of the named charities that we are supporting this year, i.e. ‘St Johns Hospice, Moggerhanger’, ‘MacMillan Cancer Support’ or Other Charities supported by Rotary, they will receive all of your £2 donation.

The answers are shown below.

The number in the final column is the percentage of entries who gave an incorrect or misspelt answer to that clue.

All this year entries have now been marked.

As there were more than ten totally correct entries, ten were drawn by lot from these to win a share of the prize.

The winners’ names are published below.

The 2023 Quiz theme was:

‘Drinks’

… and the supported charities are:

‘St Johns Hospice, Moggerhanger’

‘MacMillan Cancer Support’

Rotary Charities

Thank you again for your support
