Charity Quizzes possible sub-section

[jessiedog]

In case this has already been mentioned, apologies. I think it would be a good idea if there was a sub-section on quizzes & puzzles where new charity quizzes could be advertised. No answers, just addresses and cost. I like doing these but almost always miss them as it takes so long to troll through all of the pages in the hope of finding the posts. This is not for any commercial quiz, only those like Macmillan Cancer Support etc. as I am sure that most of us would enjoy doing them if only we knew of them. Incidentally, anyone still reading who has any details of current charity quizzes they would like to post on this thread, I would be pleased to hear from you. ���� waiting to be sent out as I write !

There is one further down posted by Smurff it is lincs and notts air ambulance quiz all about castles apparently. No more info than that.

[jessiedog]

Yeah quizbabe, I noticed that and it inspired my question as there is no address as yet. What do you think to the idea of a sub-section ?

[dynamicduo]

Good idea and to start the ball rolling can we suggest our new 'Children of Fiji' . They are just �1 each plus a sae from
Children of Fiji
1 South Drive
Cattistock
Dorchester
Dorset DT2 0JG

The theme of the quiz is types of aniimal with 100 cryptic and factual clues. The closing date is April 28th
All proceeds to help disadvantaged children in Fiji Please check our website www.dynamicduo.co.uk (where you could pay �1.32 on line and just email us your address to [email protected])

Warning: It is a tough quiz - are you up to the challenge. Remember you don't have to get full marks to win, just more marks than anyone else!!

Why not put your suggestion to the Edito on AB Suggestions.

[jessiedog]

Teacher 1 - shame on you, write it out 100 times lol

Hi jessiedog

I think a sub-section would be a great idea. It would save all the hunting through postings to find them.

A while ago I would have said there was no need. Most post under 'New Quiz Available' which I entered into search the site and up they would pop, the most recent first. This doesn't seem to happen now for some unknown reason. I had to go through about 20 yesterday to get the ones I had missed !!
Good idea jessiedog

I think this is a fab idea, Its quite time consuming to find the threads where the quizzes are advertised and I have missed a few. If we all suggest it to the editor maybe they will agree...
