THE success of January's York Quiz at City Screen, York, has prompted organisers Blue Bridge Books to promote another quiz on Thursday, again in aid of the Alzheimer's Society's York branch.
The January quiz posed 60 questions about the history of York, and quiz master Mike Bennett admitted his surprise at the high standard of answers. "Some of the questions were exceptionally difficult, yet the winners scored more than 50, which really was remarkable," he said. The event has two main purposes; to raise awareness about Alzheimer's Disease and to promote Blue Bridge's debut publication, The York Book.
"Alzheimer's Disease is a condition that affects more people than you might believe, both sufferers and carers," Mike said.
"At Thursday's quiz, the York branch will have a stall with literature and information freely available."
Entrance to the quiz, at 8pm, is £1, with proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Society. All keen on showing their knowledge of York are welcome. The first prize is £25 in cash; other prizes include City Screen tickets.
