Burghill Church WINTER QUIZ: the result
And the winner is……..Ann Wallace of Burghill, who received the £20 prize.
As there were typing errors in 2 questions (29 and 37) the quiz was marked out of 48 instead of 50. No-one got full marks.
3 people tied with 47 marks: Ann Wallace and Joanna Helme from Burghill and Mary Eardley from Norfolk. Ann’s name was drawn out at the coffee morning in church on February 6th.
Thank you to everyone who joined in, and thanks to Cynthia and Colin Crocker from St Andrew’s Church, Devizes, Wiltshire, who allowed us to use their quiz. £123 was raised for church funds. Paul & Mary Hilder
