Thank you to everyone who attended the quiz night and all those who donated a raffle prize and purchased raffle tickets.  We had a full house and were at maximum capacity, 125 people.  Still waiting for final figures but in the region of £1450 profit from the night.  I am hoping to run another quiz in March next year, look out for the date.  What a successful night.
