Story

FANTASTIC that we've managed to hit our target with more than a week to go before Christmas - thanks so much to everyone who's donated - now let's try and reach £4,000!!!!




Another year, another chance to take on the famous "Goodworth Clatford Christmas Quiz" compiled by the legendary word-wizard Stephen Graham. There will be small cash prizes for the top three scores - but the main idea is to provide you and your family with some amusement over Christmas.

 

Just sign up by clicking the "Donate" link above (remember to tick the box that allows us to see your email address) and once we have had confirmation of your donation, we will send you your free copy of the quiz. We will also tell you more about how to send in your answers.

  

Send to a Friend
If you would rather we send the quiz to a friend, just include that person's email address in the comment section of your donation application and we will ensure they receive it. It makes a great stocking filler!!
