Salisbury Soroptimists decided to change the theme of their annual quiz to a trip around the world in 80 (or so) questions. In the past the quiz has focused on women to address the normal cultural bias. Teams started in Salisbury with literary allusions to the city and then tested their knowledge of flags, culture, currencies, musicians and more.
An authentic curry supper, in keeping with the theme, was cooked by members, including onion bhajis, poppadoms, dhal with vegetable and chicken curries. Complimented by refreshments from the bar.
A raffle was also held with donated prizes, which contributed several hundred pounds towards the total raised of over £830 for two local charities: Salisbury Women’s Refuge and EdUKaid, based in Downton, which works with girls in rural Tanzania.
The winning team each took home a colourful plant to remind them of the evening. Our thanks to everyone who came, the many helpers and those who donated prizes.
