We’re extremely excited to announce the return of Showtime!
After the pandemic forced a pause it’s take a little while to get things back up and running, but we’re back with Westwood Musical Players to put on a fantastic show at Parkway Sports & Social on May 14th & 15th 2025.
As always this event, exclusively for over 65’s and the disabled (and their carers), is provided completely free of charge.
The time has finally come to announce the winners of the 2024/25 “All At Sixes And Sevens” Quiz!
Getting all 100 answers correct and winning cash prizes, were:
Runners-Up Mugs are on their way to: J Milne (Cornwall), G Healey (Northants), M Clarke (North Yorks), S Harris (Lincs), J Watkins (Peterborough), L Tozer (Peterborough), T Bass (Peterborough)
And with the announcement of the winners comes that all important answer sheet which is now available to download here:
How did you get on this year?
Thank you to everyone who supported the quiz, whether by selling it for us (or for another group on a 50:50 basis) or by putting your hands in your pockets to pay for one. This is a major fundraiser for us and we’re extremely grateful for your continued support.
You can now place a pre-order for the 2025/26 quiz in our store – where you can also buy past copies of the quiz to tide you over until September.
September is here, and that can only mean one thing!
Yes, our annual quiz sheet is now on sale. Titled “All At Sixes And Sevens”, it brings you the usual 100 questions, this time across a range of subjects but with all the answers comprising only words of 6 or 7 letters in length.
It remains at £2, and you have the chance to win up to £200 in cash or one of our wonderful, limited edition runners-up mugs. But of course that’s just secondary to hours of brain challenging fun and your chance to help us with one of our main fundraisers of the year!
You can buy online in our store (where you can also obtain any past issues you may have missed), or from one of several local stockists (the list will be updated as we get the stock out to them). If you’d like to help us sell them please get in touch, we’ll be eternally grateful and you’ll be increasing the amount of good work in and around Peterborough that your local Lions Club can achieve!
We’re happy to (finally!) share the answers to the Right Royal Quiz. Not many got 100% this year – how did you fare?
You can download a copy of the answers below. Let us know how you got on!
Finally – after weeks of marking over 700 returned quizzes – the winners can be announced!
Only 13 entrants achieved 100%, which is lower than usual. One question caught more people out than any other, but we’ll come back to that when the answers are released in the next few days. Today is about the winners, who are…
In first place comes L Thain (Peterborough) who takes the top prize of £200, and who said when she heard “I am so chuffed! I’ve been entering for years although usually with some guesses in the answers”.
In second place, all the way from Scotland, we have L Paterson who takes the £100 prize, and then it’s back to Peterborough for third place J Redmond who takes £50.
Of course the real winners are those who get their own Runners-Up mug to cherish: P McCarroll (Bungay), H Turner (Allithwaite), J Baker (Chesterfield), K Hedison (Mansfield), J Edwards (Oakham), V Thompson (Lincoln) and J Catling (Peterborough). Your prizes will be heading your way shortly and we’d love to see photos of you with them shared to our Facebook page if you’re so inclined!
Well done everyone, keep an eye out for the answers any day now!
Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2023, it was a great year! Santa tells us he met a lot of really lovely people, and with his help we raised a lot of money that we can put to good use this year.
We’ve had hundreds of Right Royal quiz sheets returned to us for marking – which we’re working hard to now so we can announce the winners – and the all important answer sheet – ASAP (this is no small task, but our target is to draw the winners at the club’s March business meeting). And already we’re working on the 2024 quiz for release in September!
So what would you like to see from us this year? Please do tell us!
It’s December again – it hardly seems like a year since the last one! And as always it’s a busy month for Santa, but once again he has made time to visit the wonderful of Peterborough and has asked us to keep him company.
You can find full details on our website which will be kept up to date with any changes, with a quick summary below. On the nights when Santa is out with us you can find out exactly where he is using our Santa Tracker. And if you’re looking for Christmas present ideas, why not look at the “Right Royal” quiz sheets in our store, where you will also find past issues if you missed any!
This year we will be visiting
Santa’s routes and departure times can be found here.
If Santa isn’t passing close to you on his tours you can also find him at the following venues this month:
From today, Saturday 28th October, until Remembrance Sunday 12th November, our quiz sheets are being sold online to support the Poppy Appeal on a 50:50 basis.
An initiative we first tried in 2020 during lockdown, and have continued ever since, will see 50% of the sale price of all quiz sheets sold online in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday donated to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
So if you’ve yet to purchase our Right Royal Quiz, want to pick up some extras for stocking fillers, or decide to pick up some past issues you missed, now is a great time to visit our store. We’ll even share any donations on the same 50:50 basis.
With the other 50% going towards our own fundraising efforts, raising money to spend on welfare projects in and around Peterborough, you can be sure that every penny will be put to good use.
If you’re ready to exercise some brain cells – and maybe even win up to £200 for your efforts – visit our store now!
Yes, it’s finally here – 2023’s Peterborough Lions Quiz is now available to buy!
Marking the coronation of our new King, “A Right Royal Quiz” brings 100 questions, where each of the answers has some connection to royalty.
As always there are cash prizes to be won – with a new top prize of £200. Entries close on 14th January 2024 so you have plenty of time!
Available now to buy online at £2/ea (plus £1.25 per order for UK shipping), with stock going out to local stockists over the coming days and weeks.
If you would like to help Peterborough Lions Club raise money for “Light Project Peterborough” (supporting Peterborough’s homeless get off the streets) amongst other local projects please get in touch. And if you have a good cause of your own that you’d like to raise money for, we can support you by supplying quiz sheets to sell on a 50:50 basis.
Finally, the time has come to release the answers to the Peterborough Lions Club 2022/23 “Altered Images” quiz, and to tell you who won the cash prizes. Which of those is most important to you may well depend on whether you’re one of the ten named below!
We had over 1000 sheets returned, so huge thanks are due to the team of markers who whittled them down to just 49 100% correct sheets in time for the draw last night.
The winners were:
Were you one of the lucky ten? If not, were you one of the unlucky 39 who got 100% but missed out in the final draw, or did you get one or two wrong? You can now download the answers and check for yourself. While you’re at it, you can pre-order the 2023-24 quiz so that you’re amongst the first to receive it in September, giving you the best chance of making the winner’s list next year!
