The Cock Inn holds a quiz on the 3^rd Sunday of each month and as you know, this month it is in aid of CIL.

 

The quiz starts at 8:30 and finishes between 10 and 10:30, it is advisable to arrive early to get a table. It is a good atmosphere as the questions are hand-picked and not so hard that it becomes boring.

 

Teams can have up to 8-people in them and each person pays £1 to enter. All entry money goes to the charity and we generally raise between £50-£80. It is not a fortune but it will also raise awareness of the local charity.

 

We do not ban phones but ask people not to cheat. It is a fun, charity quiz, there is no prize and people who cheat spoil it for the others.
