INTER ESTUARY PUB QUIZ A MAJOR SUCCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

OVER \u00a342,500 RAISED THANKS TO MATCH FUNDING GENEROSITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to an extraordinary juggling act of volunteers, pub landlords and celebrity Quiz Masters, 13 pubs competed in parallel pub quizzes on Thursday evening with over 600 people pitting their wits with Suffolk\u2019s Biggest Pub Quiz. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event was the brainchild of Clare Greenwell from Orford who masterminded an indomitable committee of volunteers to make the evening a success. \u00a0The quiz was set by Mark Nicholls and included questions on the geography and landscape, history, picture round of estuary birds, art and music, sports and hobbies.\u00a0 Celebrity hosts including Bill Turnbull, BBC Radio Suffolk\u2019s Lesley Dolphin, Terry Hunt and David Sheepshanks acted as Quiz Masters and introduced the evening with a showing of the Save Our Suffolk Estuary film presented by Nick Robinson.\u00a0 The aim of the evening was to raise funds for the Alde and Ore Estuary Trust who need \u00a312 million to upgrade the river walls in the Alde and Ore Estuary to reduce the risk of flooding.<\/p>\n

The pub team who came top with the most points was \u201cEd Iot\u201d at the King\u2019s Head in Orford where Iestyn Edwards\u00a0kept the pub fully entertained as his alter-ego Madame Galina, resplendent in a tutu. A close second were the Marsh Larks in the Golden Key in Snape, followed by the Friday Filosophers at the Butley Oyster. \u00a0Each winning team in every pub received two bottles of Prosecco donated by Adnams, and the pub that hosted the overall winner will receive a plaque to commemorate the day.<\/p>\n

The total raised was over \u00a342,500 thanks to the generosity of anonymous match donors who vowed to match the fundraising efforts of over 30 volunteers and pub landlords. \u00a0Generous pub quizzers in a pop-up pub in Sudbourne Village Hall raised \u00a35,830 in extra donations, while other pubs such as the Plough and Sail in Snape organised auctions to raise more cash for the flood defences. In The Crown Inn at Snape, Quiz Master Maggie Hambling and pub host Mary James of the Aldeburgh Bookshop organised an auction which raised an impressive \u00a3925 which was doubled by the match fund to \u00a31,850.<\/p>\n

Whilst the fishermen team in Orford couldn\u2019t make their quiz because of the tide, a team of quizzers from Essex arrived in Orford in camper vans to take part because they heard about it on BBC Radio Suffolk and came because they love the Suffolk coast and wanted to help.<\/p>\n

Professor Jane Maxim, Chair of the Funding Committee said, \u201cWe are thrilled this event had enormous support from so many people in the estuary. I was at the pub quiz at the Cross Keys in Aldeburgh last night where the 1953 flood reached the ground floor ceiling. \u00a0Every single one of us needs to help raise this challenging funding \u2013 but let\u2019s have some fun doing it. \u00a0Ideas for other events are always welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
