This consisted of a number of fun activities including bingo, picture quiz and a raffle, but the main activities were the general knowledge quiz and the farmyard derby.
The derby was NAC's version of a traditional race night but farmyard animals were raced instead of race horses - which made it all the more fun. The star animals on the night were ‘Peking Duck’, head chicken ‘Foghorn Leghorn’, ‘Trigger’ the farmyard horse and the prize pig ‘Making Bacon’.

The raffle gets drawn at the end of a great night[/caption]Having paid an entrance fee which allowed teams to enter the quiz, guests were able to place bets on the farmyard races, half of which was paid out in prizes and the remainder put towards the fundraising total. The raffle was a favourite as always and some great donations were received from a variety of local businesses, customers, and staff.
Around 70 people attended – a mix of NAC and BLS staff plus their family and friends, all helping to raise a funtastic total of £715.00 to be split between the Cancer Support Centre and SACAR.
Both are local charities. The Cancer Support Centre offers support to local people suffering from all types of cancer and most of us are affected by this disease in one way or another. SACAR is another local charity that supports adults with Autism and Asperger’s syndrome in leading an independent life.
Quiz nights are proving popular this year and are raising impressive amounts, well done
