Paws and paws of thank you's! to everyone who helped on Saturday night for the 1st (and possible the last!!) Chestnut Sanctuary Quiz night! It simply could not have happened without your support and it was lovely to have so many willing hands ready to get involved for two very worthwhile charities. We managed to raise a staggering £938! which will be divided equally between Chestnut Cat Sanctuary and Cancer Research UK. Watch this space for the presentation of the cheque to the Cancer Research Volunteer for the Epping Area.

We were extremely pleased to see Margaret and Roger's table scoop the much deserved first prize what an intelligent lot you must be!! I was amazed to come in 3rd - well done my table very impressed with your efforts I have never come close to winning before! we took the risk to play our joker on the "Cats" round which played off with 10/10! Thanks also to everyone who donated such great raffle prizes. I expect the signed rugby books are already up on ebay! I look forward to hearing about the 1000 cheese sandwiches made with the 20kg block of cheddar up for grabs! Danielle and Jackie you did a fantastic job at selling those tickets it who could resist your smiles!! (pictured inset) The quiz master has gone through about 10 packects of throat sweets to ease the pain but it was well worth the agony and tiredness! Thanks to all the behind the scenes volunteers Andy, Pete and Gillian! If I have forgotten you it is by no means intentially It was a fabulous night one to remember for a long time to come. Hope everyone had a great time and is pleased with the monies raised. I always indebited to the support given by those who perhaps have very little free time of their own but still manage to go that extra mile THANK YOU SO MUCH! X
