A quiz night held on the Isle of Wight in aid of cardiac charity Heartbeat has raised over £1,200.
The Beat the Heat quiz night was the first of its kind on the Island and was held at the Ryde Castle Hotel on 6th March.
The sell-out event saw teams of six compete against each other, putting their general knowledge to the test while raising vital funds for the charity.
Winning team “The Old Ryde Round Table” took home the coveted trophy, with only one point difference from runners up, “Beating not broken”. There were plenty of superb prizes up for grabs in the raffle with 7 excited winners. Best Team name went to Vision Account and Vision Financial for “Vision Impossible”.
The Island’s Beat the Heat quiz follows its most successful event yet, held in Southampton last month, which raised over £2,000, with the next event being held in Dorset in April.
Tanya Harder, Community Fundraising and Marketing Manager, commented: “We are absolutely thrilled with the success of the first-ever Beat the Heat quiz night on the Isle of Wight.
“The incredible support from the community has helped us raise just over £1,200 for Rotary Heartbeat House to continue supporting cardiac patients relatives from the Isle of Wight in their time of need. It was fantastic to see so many teams coming together for a night of fun, competition and generosity. Congratulations to ‘The Old Ryde Round Table’ for their victory and to all who took part, donated, and made the evening such a triumph. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!"
