The Rotary Club of Wigan - Christmas Quiz - 2019 |
Answers |
This annual quiz provided a lot of fun and brain gymnastics, as well as raising a significant sum for local good causes. 60 entries were submitted and, impressively, most of these were very close to achieving full marks. Each answer was correctly identified by at least 27 entrants. The six with all the correct answers were Gill Bergman from Garstang; John Campbell from Shevington; Alison Foster from Blackrod; David Fox from Wigan; Roger Lynn from Orrell and M.Swinson from Liverpool. Congratulations to them! |
