National Lottery star lights up Norwood’s Enterprise Supper Quiz
More than 210 contestants tested their general knowledge on Sunday 27 January as Norwood’s Enterprise Committee held its third annual Supper Quiz in aid of the UK’s largest Jewish charity for children and families. Alan Dedicoat, famous as the “Voice of the Balls” on the BBC’s National Lottery show, once again excelled in the role of quizmaster. The evening, which took place in North West London, raised more than £6,500 for Norwood.
Twenty teams battled it out to answer questions on a range of subjects including music, geography and entertainment. At the end of the evening, the winning team, curiously titled ‘Sunday Dancing on Monday’, walked away with the top prize of wine and vouchers. Earlier, the whole room had listened in captivated silence as Sidney Regan, whose late son David used Norwood’s services for many years, spoke with great emotion about David’s life and how Norwood had been there for their family.
Voice of the Balls, Alan Dedicoat said: "It has been a real pleasure being involved once again with the Enterprise Supper Quiz in aid of Norwood, a charity that carries out vital work supporting children and families with disabilities or coping with social difficulties. I wish Norwood every success in the future."
Michelle Lassman, Norwood Community Fundraiser, was delighted with the evening. She said: “It was a brilliant evening with some tough questions and everyone participated in the right spirit. I’d like to thank Alan Dedicoat for doing such a great job as quizmaster, QuizQuizQuiz for providing the questions and everyone who attended for helping us to raise money for Norwood.”
The Supper Quiz was just one of several great social and fundraising evenings that Norwood organises throughout the year.
