This year’s Carnival Quiz was a great success, as 24 teams packed into the Hurt Arms pub to fight it out to be crowned Ambergate Quiz Champions!

The Quiz was over eight close-run rounds, which included testing the teams’ knowledge on topics such as pop music, sport, current affairs, movie quotes and children’s TV theme tunes. Midway through proceedings there was chance to give the old brain cells a bit of a rest thanks to the pub putting on a fantastic free buffet for everyone.

All in all we raised £209 during the evening, which is a much welcome boost to Carnival funds. A big thank you to Jonathan for compiling the Quiz and doing an excellent job as quizmaster, to the staff at the Hurt Arms who were kept busy all night, to everyone who donated a raffle prize and of course, to all the teams that took part. We hope to see you all again next year!
