YEOVIL NEWS: Quiz held in memory of Ellie

A QUIZ night held at Yeovil Rugby Club raised a whopping £1,000 for the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society.

The event last night (Wednesday, March 25, 2015) was organised by Red Berry Recruitment in memory of Ellie Harper, a greatly missed colleague, who died last year at the age of just 32.

Quizmaster for the night, Red Berry’s managing director Helen Lacey, thanked everyone for attending the quiz which was a massive success and enjoyable evening for all the 21 teams taking part.

The winners of the quiz were the Monahan’s Quartet while The No Brainers received the wooden spoon.

A raffle was also held on the night where prizes such as a Henry cleaner donated by Chard-based Numatic International through to a Tablet PC donated by Labyrinth Computers, of Yeovil, could be won.
