The eagerly awaited Peterborough Lions 2012 Quiz goes on sale on Friday 31st August at Sainsbury’s (Bretton).
This year’s theme is “Double Letters (People)”. Confused? Well as always there’s a sample answer included to get you started, and after all it’s just a bit of fun. A bit of fun that raises a substantial amount of money for a variety of great causes each year, that is.
In case you can’t wait, the front cover is alongside – you’ll have to wait for the real thing but it’s less than a week to go!
If you can’t get to Sainsbury’s at the weekend (we’ll be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday), we’ll also be doing our usual tour of town; Tesco (Werrington) on 15th/16th Sept, Morrison’s (Lincoln Road) on 5th/6th/7th October, Morrison’s (Stanground) on 20th/21st October, and Sainsbury’s (Oxney Road) on 24th/25th November. If none of these suit please get in touch as we’d hate for you to go without. There’s also a possibility that we’ll be selling them online for the first time – please let us know if you’d be interested as that would make it more likely to happen!
At the February Business Meeting of the Peterborough Lions Club, the following names were drawn from the 65 returned “Money Matters” quiz leaflets with all answers correct (out of a total of 1129 quizzes returned):
- First Prize – P Guest; Nottingham
- Second Prize – R Hall; Peterborough
- Third Prize – J Holmes; Mereside, Huntingdon
- Fourth Prize – S Overton; Whittlesey
- Fifth Prize –
- B Lake; North Hykeham
- C Horton; Southgate, London
- S Wenlock; Peterborough
- J A North; Peterborough
- K O’Brian; Great Easton
- R Stone; Crew Green, Shrewsbury
So first prize goes outside the Peterborough area this time – better luck to the locals with this year’s quiz! If your name is above and you haven’t been contacted directly within the next few days please get in touch.
Congratulations to everyone above, and to all who bought quiz leaflets this year, whether or not you were able to complete them in full. We hope everyone enjoyed the quiz and look forward to entertaining everyone again later in 2012!
For those of us who needed a little help, the answers can be downloaded here, together with a reply coupon to use if you’d like to pre-order 2012 quiz leaflets (go on, you know you want to!)
All the Peterborough Lions would like to thank the people of Peterborough and surrounding areas for your support over the past year, and for your donations, whether you saw us with Santa and his Carol Float in the past weeks, or bought a quiz leaflet, or any of the other ways we’ve been supported in 2011.
Rest assured all the money raised will be put to good uses (if it hasn’t already!), and be just as assured our fundraising efforts will be back in the New Year to provide resources for welfare and projects in 2012.
We hope you have a great Christmas! See you soon!
No sooner had the first batch of 2011 quiz leaflets gone out, we discovered an error!
Question 20 should indicate that the number of letters in the answer are 5,7, not 4,7 as printed.
If you received one of the first sheets sent out before the error was noticed and corrected, please accept our apologies for this error. We do everything we can to prevent errors from occurring, and we hope that your enjoyment of this years quiz isn’t affected as a result of the mistake.
Thank you to everyone who pointed this error out to us, and to everyone who has already purchased a copy of the 2011 Peterborough Lion’s Quiz. To anyone who hasn’t yet obtained one, what are you waiting for? There’s still plenty of time to get a quiz leaflet by post, or in person, and they make ideal stocking fillers!
