Kentish Express Ashford & District
Enjoy a fun challenge by taking part in quiz night
A south Kent company is encouraging Kentish Express readers to focus on charity in November and take part in the Ashford Big Quiz.
Specsavers are supporting the KM Big Charity Quiz and inviting teams of readers to battle against their staff at the mammoth wine and wisdom evening.
More than 20 teams of eight people have already signed up to take part, so event organisers are hopeful this could be a bumper year for numbers attending and amount raised for good causes.
The KM Big Charity Quiz will be staged at the Stour Centre, Ashford, on Friday, November 18 and teams of eight can receive discount when booking their team using code ASH16.
This reduces the cost per head to £7, which includes nibbles and snacks on the table, a complimentary beverage and a bottle of wine per table.
Dan Shaw of Specsavers, Ashford, said: “We thoroughly enjoy the Big Quiz and really value the charities benefiting from the event. It’s great to be a part of it and our staff teams always get behind it – it’s a really good event.”
Simon Dolby from the KM Charity Team will be questionmaster for the evening and is keen to have Kentish Express readers influencing proceedings by suggesting questions that could be included on the night.
He said: “The readers’ round is made up of questions sent in by the public. It has become quite a tradition that readers, whether they are attending the big quiz or not, send in their suggestions for questions.
“The best question is not the stinker that no one can answer, the best ones are those where you have the answer on the tip of your tongue.”
Causes benefiting include foodbank charity Fairshare, as well the children’s literacy scheme Buster’s Book Club and road safety and walk to school initiatives in south Kent.
Sponsors include Shepherd Neame, Barclays Bank, Specsavers, Hallett and Co, Office Angels and the Stour Centre.
