Quiz Night a Huge Success

Friends of Bournemouth Samaritans, the fundraising arm of the Bournemouth Samaritans put on a very successful charity Quiz Night at the Wessex Hotel, Bournemouth on 23rd January 2008.

The event raised £717.05 which goes directly to support local volunteers in supporting local people.

Tickets were sold at £5 each and teams were made up of 2 to 6 people. There were lots of great prizes given away on the night including a smart new lawnmower donated by a local DIY store.
