Dawn said: “We decided to set the quiz nights up again, as they were such good fun and a way of bringing our local community together.

“Rachel and I are so grateful for the support and generosity our teams provide to the quiz, we have a great time running it and the good humoured rivalry between the teams is fun to watch each month.
