Winners of the 2024 Cancer Research UK Christmas quiz have been announced.

Organiser Judy Smith said: "Thank you, all of you, for your support of this quiz, the 18^th in the series.  We are very pleased to say that a sum of £529.61 has been raised for Cancer Research UK.

"Was the quiz really easier this time? Maybe you wouldn’t agree, but for the first time, we had five totally correct answers, and quite a few high-scoring sheets after that.  So – here are the results:

In equal first place. each scoring 50 points, were Mike Hough of Cross Lanes, Wrexham,  Jane Hurle of Llangollen, Maggie Shaw of Greasby, Wirral, Ian Hindle of Newport, Gwent and Richard Shaw of Liscard, Wirral.

Judy added: "With the proverbial hat called in, first, second and third prizes went to Mike, Jane, and Maggie, with apologies to Ian and Richard. Congratulations to all of you!

"Well, we certainly had a large number of sheets returned with plenty more high-scorers. Chris Shaw of Bedfordshire just missed the top slot with 49 ½ points, and close behind, with 49 points, came the Diprose family of Dawlish, Adrian and Catherine Farrel of Llangollen, and Keith Stacey of Newport, Gwent. 

"With 48 points we had Jayne Danby of Ewloe, Keith and Pat Campbell of Northampton, Pat and Richard Reid of Norfolk, Linda Sutton of Upton and Ross Craven of Cardiff, and there were many more hard on their heels. Very well done, all of you!

"If you’re still pondering over those sheets, answers can be obtained from smithdinbren@gmail.com.  And we look forward to another quiz at the end of the year. All the best for 2025 from Judy and the Team."
