Hammond Property Services - The 2024 Charity Quiz Is Now Out!

It’s that time of the year again, already…!

With the support of many of you during 2023, our 'Occupations' themed Quiz raised £4,140 for the Nottinghamshire Branch of ChildLine, to help with the work that they do for many vulnerable children – well done to you all.

Now… this is it… what you have all be waiting for… something for the weekend and the next weekend AND the next weekend? (and Half Term and, suitably, the Christmas period with the family... !!!)

For your own copy of the 2024 Quiz simply click on

www.hammondpropertyservices.com/quiz

and then click the Quiz image.

I hope you enjoy.... it should get into your head by the end of the evening! Have a good read through the bits below to understand what's what and please feel free to forward to friends and family who may also enjoy a devilish Quiz.

I thought that you may wish to enter our latest ‘brain buster’ to tax those grey matter cells!!!

As with our previous Quizzes, all of the answers are on the last page!, ……but not in the
correct order….. you just need to be able to work out how the ‘clever’ clues can give you a word relating to a Literary Character... and you can now make your entry donation go a little further by ticking the Gift Aid section when you fill in your name and address.

The Quiz is set to last throughout the winter months and over the Christmas period. It will be ideal to bring out with family and friends once all the turkey has been eaten and the conversation is ‘running dry’! Many entries received last year were from those who took the Quiz with them on holidays over October Half Term and the New Year! - hence numerous entries from all over the World… many with sand, Cranberry Sauce or Sangria stains!

Please send me an image of you solving your copy of the Quiz in an unusual place and we will add it to our social media... [email protected]

All of the answers are on page four. Just tick them off as you work them out BUT, be careful, as with all of my Quizzes, look out for the catches!!!

If you require an original copy, either give me a call on (01949) 87 86 85 or e-mail me

_______________________________________________
As with previous years, my Annual Quiz raises funds for the Nottingham Branch of ChildLine
Although ChildLine is a national organisation, each branch operates on a regional basis, so any local support they receive is invaluable. The ChildLine counselling centre in Nottingham provides a unique and confidential service to scared and vulnerable callers in East Midlands and East Anglia, making it a truly local charity to support.

To date ChildLine has helped nearly two million children, saved children’s lives, brought abusers to justice and found refuge for children in danger on the streets.

However, ChildLine has never had the resources to answer every call. At present approx. 4,500 children a day call for help, but due to a lack of funds it's only possible to answer around 2,500 of these, meaning that 2000 children a day continue to suffer alone in silence. £4,140 raised last year from our simple little quiz!!!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THE QUIZ TO ANYONE ELSE YOU THINK MAY ENJOY THE CHALLENGE!

Best of luck with your entry – I hope it keeps you busy AND entertained!

that link didn't work for me Jonathan,

Thank you Winner... I have just tried it again and it opens up the pdf file of the 4 pages you will require.  Please go to www.hammondpropertyservices.com and then click the Quiz Tab... and then scroll down to the image / logo of the Quiz... and let me know if that route works? I have received messages from others that they have already printed it from that same link? Let me know and best wishes for this year's challenge. Jonathan Hammond

[Hazlinny]

Probably my favourite quiz - thank you😊

[chairmanhh]

Hazlinny... you say that now!!! Let's see how you get on with this year's challenge. Thank you for your kind comment. Have you been able to open the pdf file using the same link? 

[Hazlinny]

Yes - no problem. 😊

[Tilly2]

Got mine. Almost completed. I really enjoy your annual quizzes. Thank you.

[chairmanhh]

Tilly... wow! Almost completed... very impressive, assuming that you have not fallen into any of the traps?

[Tilly2]

Well. I was being over confident.

I've got 75 answers so far  out of 108.

Plenty of time for me to fall into your cunning traps.🙃

 

[THECORBYLOON]

I normally have a go but always end up with ones I can't match and then ending up changing answers I thought were,  "obviously" the right ones...

Very clever but very frustrating at the same time.

[netherfield]

Wow you lot are cleverer than me. Although I've only skimmed through I've only 20 answers so far.

[Tilly2]

All done. Is there any point in sending it in early?

[THECORBYLOON]

I have one answer remaining and cannot make it fit the only clue left...

 

[THECORBYLOON]

Spotted a wrong answer and swapped it with the remaining answer.

First time I've managed to complete the answers!

[Tilly2]

Same here Corby. It's so frustrating when get near the end.

[chairmanhh]

Tilly2... the only point or reason to send it in early is to get it out of your house, out of your mind, out of your life... it having infiltrated the workings of your brains for a couple of weeks! Once it is in the envelope, your work is done and you can rest until next year's challenge!

Corbyloon... well done for checking... one or two of the early entrants have fallen into the traps! There is only one correct solution... 

Best wishes to all
