 Hitchin Priory Rotary Club has produced a Christmas Quiz for several
years now, successfully raising thousands of pounds for Rotary
Charities. Selling for £1 per sheet, it carries prizes of up to £100.
This year the main beneficiary will be Keech Hospice care, specifically their children's hospice. As this covers Beds. Herts.and Milton Keynes, it is the local children's hospice for a lot of District 1260.
Our members sell them to friends, workmates, people in other
organisations they belong to, customers in local pubs that run quizzes,
and mainly to the public at local supermarkets (by prior agreement), and
other pre-Christmas gatherings and functions.
In the past, we have offered other clubs the opportunity to buy blocks
of the quizzes at a 50% discount, for instance paying £250 for 500
sheets, so that as well as helping our main charity, they are left with
a profit of £250 for their own club charity fund, and we are repeating
the offer this year. We set a minimum of 100 sheet to a club, but then
that is barely more than 5 sheets per member on average.
We still do all the work of marking the answers sent in, and issuing the
prizes.
Before we go to print we need some idea of the numbers needed, so we
would like you to raise this at your next available club meeting, and
if your club is interested in taking part, can you please contact our
President, Rotarian Robert Girvan, details below, as soon as possible.
