Burnside Bar Quiz in aid of Mini Bus Appeal - Thurs 28th Dec

Postby Kintyre Forum News » Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:56 am

South Kintyre Sports Council are holding a quiz in the Burnside Bar on Thursday 28th December 2006.

The event organised by treasurer Helen MacKinlay will start at 9pm and each team must consist of no more than four members. Entry is £5 per team which will include a light supper.

There will be special prizes and a raffle.

All proceeds on the evening will go to the Sports Council mini Bus Appeal.

The Sports Council sent the following press release tonight adding to the one they made last week.

Following on from the launch of the Sports Councils Mini Bus Appeal sponsorship deal the Sports Council are calling on all member clubs to support their project by either making a donation or running a fund raising event.

A Sports Council spokesperson said “We have issued a letter out to all twenty two member clubs asking for them to support our project – afterall it is the sports clubs and its members who will benefit most from this. If our member clubs could make a donation or organise an event to raise money for the mini bus appeal this would be a great boost. For example if all clubs even raised £50 we would bank over £1100 – every penny counts and we would urge our members to support this worthwhile cause.”

Over the festive period the Sports Council will be running a series of fund raising events including a Christmas Bonus Ball and a Quiz in the Burnside Bar on Thursday 28th December 2006. The quiz will start at 9pm and will include a light supper, special prizes and raffle.

Full details of the Sports Council Mini Bus sponsorship deal are now on-line at www.southkintyresportscouncil.com and the committee would encourage local businesses to support this particular part of the project, which will see sponsors take advantage of a 3 Year Sponsorship Deal includes which includes;

• 1 of 9 banner adverts on new mini bus.
• All sign work included
• Bus seen throughout Argyll and Scotland
• Local press coverage including final feature in Courier displaying all sponsors (part of sponsorship)
• Web coverage
• Local Radio coverage

Yes, I'd get there early to get a seat etc - think it will be busy by the sounds of it.

Just realised I never answered your question - yes, you turn up on the night and enter. Would go early as mentioned.

See you there - mind and say hello!

Excellent night in the Burnside last night at the quiz. The pub was mobbed!

Well done to Helen MacKinlay for all her hard work in organising this and the bonus ball sheets that were sold over Christmas. Will get a final total from Helen but would imagine it is somewhere between £4- £500.

Forgot to ask who won it but think it was the Minshaw sisters and Fiona Gillies...? Our team was 3rd 8) ................................last! :shock:
