An annual quiz is being organised in Newquay for residents who are looking to raise money for charities.

Teams are needed for the Newquay Towan Blystra Lions Brains of Newquay Quiz, which will be held at Newquay Golf Club on Sunday, July 9, at 7.30pm.

There is a minimum of £50 on offer for every quiz team that takes part in this year’s charity giveaway quiz but there are only 20 spaces available and they are going fast.

Teams of no more than four quizzers each nominate a local charity or good cause they want all their winnings to be donated to and then book their place.

Then they just need to answer as many questions as they can correctly and, potentially, win £400 for the good cause of their choice. But even if they don’t win, there are substantial runners-up and round prizes as well as a guarantee that £50 will be going to their chosen good cause.

Lion President Jill Bunt said: “Why not form a team, when you know the group you will be supporting are guaranteed £50?

“It’s a fun way for us to distribute some of the funds we have raised during the course of the year through events like Newquay Beer Festival, the giant Easter egg raffles, Santa’s sleigh, collections and generous donations from many individuals and businesses. 

“Everyone’s a winner and it is always a very friendly, fun night.”

The Brains of Newquay Quiz began in 2012 and the trophy has now been through the hands of many winners. 

Anyone interested in taking part in the 2023 quiz can email secretary@newquaytowanblys tralions.org.uk or ring 0345 833 4981.
