Dear All,

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in last Friday’s quiz Still Life: The Art of Lockdown.  We had a record number of participants (over 160 people in 42 teams) and many congratulations go to the worthy winners Bridge Over the River Quaggy who scored 44 out of a possible 48 points.   Please see final results table attached for all team scores and rankings.

We are also delighted to report that we have almost reached a total of £1,000 as a result of your very generous donations to the charity Refuge, who raise money to help victims of domestic violence.   If you have not yet done so and would like to contribute to this total, the link to the Just Giving page is below:
