IT may only be April but already a weekly quiz held in Burnham-on-Sea has raised more than £2,000 for local charities, clubs and societies this year.

Those that have benefitted from the Friday night quiz at the Ritz Social Club include BARB, Fibro Heart, Scouts, Hillview Carnival Club, CLIC and many more.

Local clubs and societies, school PTAs, charities and local groups are invited to contact The Ritz in Victoria Street as they are now taking bookings for Friday dates from July to December.

Committee member Mike Barsby said: "We are really pleased to be able to offer local groups the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing night out and to raise a substantial amount for their good cause at the same time.

We organise everything, supplying the questions, quizmaster, snacks and the raffle. All the good cause has to do is turn up on the night with a few teams, supply a couple of raffle prizes and enjoy the evening.

"Our target for 2016 is £6,000 - so if your group or charity wants to share in this money please contact us as soon as you can to arrange a suitable date."

The quiz starts at 8.30pm and ends about 10.30pm. Questions are suitable for all - nothing too difficult & families are welcome.

Teams of up to six are invited to arrive from 8pm. Admission is £1 per person. The quiz is open to everyone so even if your not a charity and just fancy a quiz with friends on a Friday night the Ritz will give you a warm welcome.

If you would like your group or charity to be booked in for a future date or just want more info - please email ritzsocialclub@hotmail.co.uk or text Mike on 07936538263.
