Chester Business Club kick-started its 2024 fundraising drive with a charity quiz that raised £1,500 for good causes.
Locking horns were 60 players across 16 teams in the event at the Abode Hotel earlier this month.
Each round was sponsored by a member of the Chester Business Club (CBC) with funds going to seven local charities. Those sponsored included; The Border Collie Trust; The Salvation Army; Help for Heroes; Refuge, Cheshire Scouts; SHARE; Children’s Adventure Farm Trust and the Hospice of the Good Shepherd.
A donation from each ticket sold also went to Platform for Life, whose trustee Alan Seiber attended the event and thanked participants for their support.
The quiz was won by a team led by Gavin Floyd, a member of the CBC Executive Committee. Mr Floyd, from the Chester-based property valuation firm Dee Surveys Ltd, who donated £100 to Refuge.
The winning team (pictured) also included Luke Floyd, Matthew Canfield and Louise Hilder – also walked away with a specially engraved carafe as a team prize and engraved glassses
Jan Chillery, chair of the CBC said: “I’d like to thank all those who helped organise the event and to everyone who came along to take part. January can be a bit of a gloomy month as we all know, so it was wonderful to have a fun quiz with mocktails, where everyone could get together, relax, test the grey matter but most of all enjoy themselves.
“As a club we are committed to making a difference and having fun doing it. We have lots of exciting activities planned in 2024, including a Business in the Bush Challenge on Saturday, April 20 by Spartan Survival.”
