A quiz night will be held for charity in Halstead.

Halstead Hospital League of Friends will hold a quiz night complete with a raffle to raise money for the hospital.

Jackie Pell, a member of the Halstead Hospital League of Friends, the charity organising the event, said: “We want everyone to come on down and have some fun in what will be a really entertaining evening.

“It’s a bit of fun and the quiz is not to be taken too seriously, and will support the hospital at the same time.

“There are quite a few categories, from soft questions to hard questions and a variety of questions about all different subjects.

“It raises money for the league of friends and raises awareness about our group.

“We buy Christmas presents for the patients in Halstead Hospital, we hold race nights, with the money raised in previous years we’ve combined this into one big pot.

“With this money we have donated to the hospital and have helped to provide a new rehabilitation centre and new equipment inside Halstead Hospital.”

The quiz night will be held inside Queens Hall, on Chipping Hill, Halstead, on Friday October 20 from 7.30pm.

The night will be held from 7.30pm with teams being made up of eight, though teams can be combined together on the night.

Tickets are also available from Roz Gage on 01787 472022 or from Capital Dry Cleaning on the High Street in Halstead.
