QUIZ NIGHT: When the Sutton, Blyth and Ranskill branch of the Bassetlaw Conservative Association held their fun quiz evening in Sutton Village hall on Friday evening 14th March a group of 30 plus were in attendance. The teams were keen to do battle and pit their wits against others present. After the first two sessions were completed those present were served with a “Bangers and Mash” supper. After a very enjoyable meal the raffle was drawn and the gathering got ready to tackle the third and final session. The quiz itself was a high scoring event with all teams achieving above average scores. When all the answers were totalled up after a very close run event the winning team were confirmed as Three ladies and a baby, closely followed in second place by the Taylor family. The cash prize on offer on the night was donated by the winners to the Village Hall Building Fund. Profits from the evening are destined for association funds. Thanks to all who supported the event.
