Dear 

MAYOR’S CHARITY QUIZ

I am hosting a Charity Quiz night on Friday 19 October at 7.30pm in the Community Centre and I would like to invite your organisation to enter a team.

The ticket price is £3 per person and up to six people can form a team.

This annual event is very popular and I do hope that you will be able to join me in raising money for my chosen charity, the Needham Market First Responders.

The bar will be open and there will be a raffle.

I should be very grateful if you could complete the form and return it to the Town Council office, School Street, Needham Market.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards

Cllr Kay Oakes

Town Mayor
