Dear Fellow Quiz enthusiasts,
Happy New Year to you all and a big thank you for taking part in my annual quiz to raise much needed funds for the British Schools Museum.
The final money count for this year was £438.
Five people got all the correct answers including Marjorie Bradbury from St Neots, Ruth Cannon from Hitchin, Lorraine Morgan and Peter Wilson from Preston but the winner picked out by our manager, Sam, was Mrs Anne John from Portsmouth. Congratulations Anne, I know you participate each year.
Thank you, everyone, once again for contributing to this annual fundraiser for The British Schools Museum. I am pleased that you enjoy taking part and hope to hear from you all again next year.
Thank you for your support.
