The Town Mayor, Cllr Bob Mainstone, held his Charity Music Quiz on Tuesday 12 July in the Meridian Hall. With 18 teams battling to become champions they were put through their paces by Quiz Master Barry Rossiter. At the end two teams – “Peanutters” and “All in it together” were tied on 74.5 points so a play-off question had to answered. “All in it together” provided the winning answer and so became worthy champions receiving their prize from the Town Mayor. The booby prize for propping up the scoring chart went to the gallant “Famous Five” who received their prize in good spirit and vowed to do better next time!

Bob added,” It was a great night created by Barry with lots of memory searching music questions. With the help of The Friends of the Museum who ran the raffle the pleasing amount of £1,031 was raised for my three charities. I would also like to thank “Indigo Events” for providing a lovely supper for our 140 quizzers.”
