THE Friends of Dilton Marsh School (FODS) quiz has been deemed a great success by the charity’s organisers and those who took part.
The fundraising event, which raised £500, was held to raise money towards the increasing costs of school trips to help make them more affordable.
Twelve teams including parents, school staff and the local community put their knowledge to the test in the village’s Memorial Hall. Unwanted Christmas presents were given for the raffle and quiz-goers enjoyed a supper including cheese kindly donated by Wyke Farms and Savencia.
FODS chairperson, Jennifer Johnson said, “We would like to thank everyone who supported the event for their generosity and for making it a fun evening. Thank you to our quiz master, Tim Bird from White Horse CAD, and congratulations to ‘Bar Flies’ the winning team who took home a chocolate hamper and trophy.
“We know the children enjoy and benefit from their school trips such as the Houses of Parliament and Stonehenge, so we are delighted the quiz has raised £500 towards these.”
FODS is a registered charity and help organise events and activities for the school. The hope is to run the quiz as an annual event. You can follow FODS by searching Friends of Dilton School on Facebook.
