Christmas Quiz

The Newark Physio Christmas Quiz has been around for over 20 years.  Originally, it consisted of questions just about Christmas, but when they ran out, the puzzle master devised quizzes with different themes.  For instance, in 2023 the questions were all about singers and bands, whereas in 2022 it was all about films.  No specialist knowledge is needed to answer the quiz questions as it tends to be a lot of word play.

This year the answers are all UK seaside place names.

We use the quiz to raise money for charity - a different one each year. Last year it was  REACH NEWARK and this year it is the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.

This year we  raised £850, part of which had gift aid added to it.

Our Winners are: For the £25 waitrose voucher it is Yvonne Robb, The Champagne goes to June Horton and Sean McGinley gets the Xmas cake.
