Sunnyside is excited to be joining churches across the
country again in hosting the Tearfund Big Quiz Night 2023. This year’s quiz
will be in Church on Saturday 14th October 2023, 7.30pm for 7.45pm start, with
Katie RS returning for a fifth year as Quizmaster. Since 2019, we've raised
over £2,600 for Tearfund through the quizzes. Last year our quizzers were part
of 334 churches and 13,386 quizzers raising a whooping £60,000!!

Will 51% (Hilary K, Steven K, Jane W, Nick W, John K, Pam D,
Lucy W and Ruth C) retain their top spot and who will take home the wooden
spoon?!
There will be eight rounds and there are some interesting round
names this year! – 2022 Quiz, Arts and Culture, A Link to the Past, Nature
Myth-Busters, Flags of the World, General Knowledge: Are you a cat or dog
person?, Food and Drink, and A Sporting Choice. A few hints there if you wanted
to do some homework! Each round has six questions.
Please bring your own drinks and nibbles (including
vessels/bowls to put them in) and take any recycling home. We will have hot
drinks and cakes available for a cash donation or can donate extra online.
Please talk to your church family and friends about putting
together teams of up to eight (sorry no more as it becomes unfair). Participants
don’t have to be Sunnysiders. It would be fabulous to get a wide range of
attendees – from our congregation, to hall users, to local businesses and The
Rising Sun and The Boat regulars, to parish roads WhatsApp groups, and to neighbours
and friends! I know some folks are planning to come as a house group, the
Gardeners are hopefully coming as at least one team, and we should have friends
from other Berkhamsted Churches joining us. Solo or smaller numbers welcome and
we can put folks together if needed. Samson was insistent he attends again so
do consider bringing similar age and above children too – there are normally
some questions the younger generations can answer and help the older ones with!
There will be sign-up sheets in Church from Sunday 17th September but ideally
if you are thinking of coming, please use this online form: https://forms.gle/uQRZxJQbphUXXNy19
In previous years Tearfund have suggested a donation of £5
per person. Appreciating that cost of living has increased please consider your
own individual circumstances as to what to donate, whether you feel you are
able to give more, or indeed please do not let entry donation be a limiting
factor as we’d love everyone to feel able to come. Please donate directly to Tearfund:

We will have another game of heads or tails so bring your pound coins.
Sunnysiders and friends who aren’t able to join the quiz please do feel free to
donate as well!
We’ll have had Community Cafe in Church earlier in the day
so I shouldn’t need help setting up but as previous years hopefully many hands mean
light work at the end.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch
with me at katierandallstratton@gmail.com or text me. Look forward to
quizzing again with you all…Katie
