A CHARITY quiz raised more than £1,800 for good causes.

The annual Christchurch Rotary Club Charity Quiz took place at Twynham School on April 15.

And the 38th contest saw a total of £1,883 raised for Rotary-nominated charities.

After a gruelling 10 rounds of questions on a variety of subjects, breaking off at half-time for fish and chips, the Mental Blanks team was crowned the winner, followed by The Invisibles, who had won the event for the last three years.

Organiser Paul Mills, of Christchurch Rotary, said that the major part of the sum was raised from the raffle, ‘for which the club is indebted to local businesses for providing excellent prizes’.

Next year’s quiz is set to take place on April 13. All are welcome to apply and bring a team.
