Last night, 11th May, team SleepSwim held a
table quiz fundraiser in Lohan's at the roundabout in Salthill, Galway. A very intelligent crowd showed up on the night, ready to answer all variety of challenging and bizarre questions. In total 13 tables battled it out for prizes of wine, chocolate and vouchers for cakes.
It was neck and neck for a long time, but then the Food & Drink round allowed team "
2swimmers2 gingers" to nudge ahead of "
The Zoomers" super-team and claim victory. A mega-raffle for 20 prizes allowed many who found that the questions didn't suit them to walk away with something interesting, useful or alcoholic.
In total the quiz night and other donations raised
€1,232 for St Vincent de Paul's vital work in the Galway region. The Cork quiz is
Thursday 24th May - please come out and support SVP and Marymount Hospice. The pressure is on Cork now to beat the Galway totals..
A big
thank you to those who turned out on a lovely sunny evening - lots of swimmers, paddlers, musicians and relatives of Riana. Thanks also to Quiz master Alice Parsons, helpers Riana & Ciara, and to all those who provided gifts for the prizes & raffle - especially
