Question One…how can you raise money for East Cheshire Hospice without leaving the comfort of your own home?
Answer…by taking part in a fun virtual quiz on Friday, October 16, at 7.30 pm.
The four virtual quizzes so far during lockdown have been a big success, raising £5,655 for the Hospice, and the next is the last of the year.
Entry is £5 per household and participants can play as individuals, or as a team, by registering at eastcheshirehospice.org.uk/events/virtualquiz/ where full details how to play are available.
The ECH Quiz Team have held quizzes on behalf of the Hospice for the last seven years and quiz masters are Paul Morrissey and Mark Watson.
Co-organiser Alison Brammer said: “The quizzes have been a lot of fun over lockdown, bringing our community together with some friendly competition and fantastic fundraising.”
The popularity of the ECH Virtual Quiz has even spread across the country and, among those who regularly take part, is the Poyntz Means Prizes team, comprising Steph Poyntz and partner Steve Copper.
Steph said: “I support the Hospice because of its important work helping the local community and it has cared for friends and colleagues in the past. I also know that state support is limited.
“I moved to Bristol to be nearer to family in Plymouth but still miss Bollington and Macclesfield where I’m from.
“The online quizzes are great fun and we like the jokes between the two quiz masters.”
Winners last time were Park Timers.
