THE first in a series of York quizzes is taking place in the city this week, offering local residents the chance to test their local knowledge.
The fundraising event, at 8pm tomorrow at the Royal Oak pub in Goodramgate, is being organised by Blue Bridge Books, which recently published The York Book - a pocket-sized history of the city in A to Z format.
Mike Bennett, of Blue Bridge Books, said: "There are certainly many people in York who have a great knowledge of the city, though I'm pretty convinced that the York Book contains information that will be new to many."
The quiz, comprising of questions entirely about York, is sponsored by Questions Answered, the York-based marketing and research company.
Entry is £1 in aid of the Alzheimer's Disease Society. The first prize is £25 cash, with other prizes including signed copies of the York Book.
