Deans Charity Quiz Night
Saturday 25th February 2012 will see our next quiz night, once again hosted by the excellent quiz masters Maggie and Dean. This year we will be raising money for two very worthy Charities, Cancer Research and the Macmillan Nurses.
Tickets will be available in January, we fully expect this one to be a sellout so all tickets need to be purchased in advance from the studio at £5 a per person, the event will once again be held in the Education Suite at Barleylands Craft Village.
Teams of 8 please, where possible we would like all the prizes donated, (bottles of wine, tins of sweets, etc) so we can maximise the amount we raise for charity!
Dean Smith will donate two original artworks for the charity, one will be raffled off on the night, the other will be available by a sealed bidding process.
Donations will be most welcome in the weeks leading up to the event.
