Last Call for Quiz

[DSJ]

Many of you ABers have kindly purchased copies of the St. Guthlac's Mystery Theme Quiz. You will be pleased to know that we have now sold over 900 copies at �1.00 each. We'd like to reach the �1,000.00 mark before the closing date at the end of March so, if there is anyone out there who'd like a copy, the details are as follows:-

Please send a cheque for �1.00 (made payable to St. Guthlac's Ladies' Guild) & a stamped self-addressed envelope to:-

Jill,
3, Church Street,
Deeping St. James,
Peterborough,
PE6 8HF.

Thank you all very much.

That is an amazing amount of money - well done and I truely hope you achieve the �1000.

Can I be really cheeky and ask how on earth you manage that as I compile quizzes for the Cinnamon Trust and generally raise about �120 - �130 each time then less prize money. And I thought that was quite good until I saw this!!

Any advise greatfully recieved (ps I am in Cornwall so not really in direct competition with you on local sales)

best wishes

I sell quiz sheets over a period of 12 months. During the summer, when I am travelling around the country watching cricket, I sell to my many friends at various cricket grounds all over England. When they see me coming, they start to dig in their pockets for a �1.00 coin so I no longer have to ask them if they will buy a quiz sheet!

This AB site accounts for several hundred purchases & the new Fundraising Quizzes site has been a great help. One other member of our Ladies' Guild is a bridge player with contacts in various bridge clubs around our area. She'll sell over 200 sheets for us each year.

I'm having a rest next year (March 2009 - March 2010) but hope that another Ladies' Guild member may take over the job. It does take up a great deal of my time, especially the marking of the returned quizzes, but it is very enjoyable & totally rewarding.

Good luck with your own fund-raising.

Hi,

Sorry for not coming back earlier, and many thanks for your reply.

I must take up cricket I think!

Well done on your great effort and enjoy your rest.

The final sum raised was �983.00. Our rector will be drawing a winner from the all-correct entries submitted on Sunday, 29th March. The winner's name & answer sheet will be sent out to all those who sent in stamped self addressed envelopes.

I will post the winner's name and answers on the Fundraising Quizzes website.
