Potter Quiz raises over £800

This year saw the most successful Potter Quiz ever, with 120 contestants taking part in 15 teams and raising a phenomenal £800 towards the Senior Citizens Function next year.  The questions in six rounds including a music round were based around “Invention, Innovation, Inspiration & Creation”,  and teams were given a special task this year to create a clay model based on a creative character.  There were some interesting works of art!

Congratulations to the winners, the church team “Michael and All Angels”.  The scoring was very close this year.  Whilst the winners got 78% of the answers correct, the team that came last still achieved a figure of 60%.  Well done everybody.
