A QUIZ team from a York pub has been raising much-needed cash for cancer patients in the city by putting their brains in gear and competing against each other.
Every Tuesday night teams of four or more gather together at The Bumper Castle to take part in a pub quiz, hosted by meticulously-organised Ian Bradshaw.
Ian invited Alex Emsley, the Macmillan Cancer Relief York Appeal co-ordinator, along to the quiz night on Wednesday, when £566 was handed over to a delighted Alex.
The Macmillan Cancer Relief York Appeal was launched last year to raise £400,000 to fund three new specialist Macmillan posts - a head and neck nurse specialist, a lead cancer nurse and a GP facilitator.
Ian has also unveiled another fundraiser for the appeal - a quiz consisting of 120 questions for the general public to take part in.
The first prize is £70, second prize is £30 and third prize is £20. The quiz costs £1 to enter and all proceeds will be donated to the appeal.
For more information about the Macmillan York Appeal, or to take part in the quiz, please contact Alex Emsley on 01904 756402 or email her at aemsley@macmillan.org.uk
