International Quiz - Feb 2017
The International committee raise funds at their annual quiz and fish 'n chips supper night for a charity chosen each year.
This year we are again supporting Medecins sans Frontieres
International Quiz and fish 'n chips supper
The annual international quiz and fish 'n chips supper is held at the Emmanuel United Reformed Church West Wickham, when the teams hotly contest the outcome. This year the event was completely sold out and there were a total of 14 tables on the evening. We are grateful to our local fellow Rotary clubs for their generous support, which resulted in a record of over £1,100 raised for our chosen charity.
In 2016, the proceeds from our quiz and raffle were donated to Laissez l'Afrique Vivre, a charity based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which supports and trains young girls and their children and trains young boys in a skill which will hopefully enable them to earn a living.

This year the proceeds will go to the international charity Medecins sans Frontieres

Congratulations to the Rotary West Wickham team, for a convincing win, with 92 out of a possible 110 points. This was a fun evening with delicious local fish and chips and prizes of wine for the quiz winners.
Our thanks go to Rev. Bill Bowman for providing the venue and for acting as our quizmaster. Our thanks also for the generosity of members who donated raffle prizes.

After Rotary lunch in April, President Charles and Rev. Bill presented our cheque for over £1,100 to Stephen Legg of MSF, who had joined us for lunch and who gave a most interesting talk about the work of MSF.
