MALDON in Bloom has thanked those who turned out to their quiz which raised more than £350.

The in bloom team held their annual fundraising quiz at Plume Academy in Maldon last week.

The quiz master, Mark Heard, produced some interesting and sometimes challenging questions which led to a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

A total of £355 was raised with £55 being donated to the Joseph Henry Unwin Sick Poor Fund. A raffle was also held, which raised £145.

The next activity will be the community litter pick. As part of the Great British Spring Clean Campaign, the Maldon in Bloom team are organising a local litter pick on Friday, 2nd March. They will be meeting at the West Maldon Community Centre car park at 9.45am.

The team are also planning their working parties within the town, which will take place on various days and times around the town.
