Plucking ducks for charity
Great fun was had by all at the Southwell Garden Party on 8th June on the War Memorial Park. We teamed up with Brincliffe Ladies Hockey Club to raise funds via our annual Duck Pluck, so a big thank you to everyone who supported this great sports club by 'buying' a duck. The winning duck earned local mum Elizabeth a prize of £60.
Plucking a duck was not the only excitement on the day! Lots of people enjoyed playing a selection of traditional pub games, including shove ha'penny and bar skittles, and very energetic 'wellie wanging', all of which helped to add to the funds raised for the Hockey Club.

Spring quiz raises funds for good causes
A great night was had by all at the Lions' Spring Quiz in May at the Minster School. Quizzers were entertained with subjects including mathematical conundrums, answers with colours, current affairs, May events and Spot the Tourist Attraction! The Halam Hopefuls proved to be worthy winners, just ahead of second-placed Artifishul Intelgence.
Our thanks go to our excellent quizmaster Ian Gillings, ably supported by Ian Edwards, to Nick Turner for once again running the bar and to everyone who came along to support our charity. The proceeds will go to good causes in and around Southwell over the coming months.
