Soroptimist International St Albans and District\u2019s Charity Quiz Night on Sat 22 March was a a great success raising more than \u00a31400 for the\u00a0St Albans and Hertsmere Women\u2019s Refuge<\/a>\u00a0and other charities supported by the Club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Quiz<\/a>This is always the Club\u2019s last big fundraiser for the Club\u2019s end of year in April so it was brilliant to be so well supported. Barbara Saunders, co-President of the Club was the MC for the \"Quiz<\/a>evening keeping everyone to time and and keeping scores too. The Quiz Master was Barbara\u2019s husband, Derek Palmer who challenged everyone\u2019s brain cells on the night with some really interesting and varied rounds \u2013 all with multiple choice answers meaning that everyone has a chance to answer the questions. Barbara did a brilliant job supporting Derek as well as organising the event. Ian Byrne organised and ran the music round which meant accessing \"Quiz<\/a>another part of the brain \u2013 always a great idea. If people didn\u2019t know the answers to many of the questions posed before the quiz, they will have gone away knowing many more useful (?) things than they did before. Team \u201cCrafty Quizzers\u201d were the winners but many of the other ten teams were hot on their heels and it was a close run thing for all teams. There was a buzzing atmosphere on the night,\u00a0 and we have received some great feedback from our guests, saying they had a good time \u2013 which makes it all the more worthwhile!<\/p>\n

\"Quiz<\/a>Soroptimists Orange the World <\/strong>to End Violence Against Women!\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cOrange day\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is the 25th<\/sup> of every month. This year Soroptimists and guests were asked to wear something orange to the quiz to raise awareness. Many of the team names had orange themes and we had an “Orange” round of quiz questions too! As a bright and optimistic colour, orange represents a future free from the scourge that is violence against women and girls.

The fish and chips went down well – they were purchased from and delivered by The Ridgeway Fish Bar in Marshalswick<\/strong> \u00a0www.ridgewayfishbar.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hall at the St Albans URC Homewood Rd is a great venue for an event like this, we always appreciate what a difference it makes to have good facilities.
\n\"St<\/a><\/p>\n

The money was raised from a combination of ticket, raffle and bar sales and we thank everyone for their generosity<\/strong>\u00a0which will make a difference to the\u00a0Women\u2019s Refuge and the other charities supported by the Club.<\/strong>\u00a0We also thank everyone who helped before, during and after the event \u2013 these things are always a big team effort by our Club Members and our supporters.<\/p>\n
