Cancer Research's Llangollen quiz raises £778 for the charity

The recent Llangollen annual quiz in aid of Cancer Research UK - the 19th in the series - raised £778.67 for the charity.  

Organisers Judy Smith and the team said: "Thank you, all of you, for your support of this quiz.

"It was without doubt a difficult quiz this time, but we had more sheets than ever returned, and once again some very high scores, with one question discounted because I had erroneously called a fluke an insect (!), the totals given here are out of 49, not 50. 

"So, first with 47 points was the Diprose family of Dawlish, Devon, then Geoff and Roz Crook of Muir of Ord, Rosshire and Chris Chantler of Bath. As you can see, our quiz gets around the country.

"Having said that, flying the flag high for Llangollen were Jane Hurle with 46½ points, Bill Large with 46, and Adrian Farrel with 45½. 

"Very well done to you, and to others with similar top scores from Newport, Cardiff, Towcester, Kempston, Wrexham and elsewhere. In fact, well done to anyone scoring more than half points on this particular quiz!

"If you are still pondering over those tricky sheets, answers can be obtained from smithdinbren@gmail.com. And we look forward to another quiz at the end of the year…perhaps easier? All the very best for 2026."
