Quizaid – Put Your Brains to The Test
The people of Nottinghamshire are being invited to put their brains to the test in support of the world’s poor for a ‘QuizAid’ evening at Hucknall Central Methodist Church on Friday September 24th.
QuizAid is a national initiative from Christian Aid which runs through September aiming to raise £230,000 for the world’s poorest communities. Local volunteers are organising events across the country in workplaces, church halls, pubs and homes, all using selections from a set of standard questions prepared by Christian Aid.
Mike Allcock, organiser of the Hucknall event, said, “It’s a few years since we last held a QuizAid in Hucknall. That event was well attended and I hope even more people will be able support this year’s quiz and the vital work of Christian Aid in the developing world and responding to natural disasters. Although the event is being held in a church hall, everyone is welcome to come along and test their mental powers!”
The quiz will begin at 7.30 pm, with mental warm up activities from 7.15 pm. Admission is £1 per person, free for under-11s, and teams can be formed on the night. Refreshments will be available and all proceeds will go straight to Christian Aid’s work in developing countries.
Please contact Mike Allcock on 0115 968 0563 / web.hcmc@ntlworld.com for further details or just turn up on the night.

Could you be an angel?
Churches Together in Hucknall, Linby and Papplewick (CTHLP) are working with Ashfield District Council and the local Police to consider running a ‘Street Angels’ scheme with the aim of reducing anti-social behaviour around the High Street on a Friday / Saturday night.
The aim of a scheme like this is simply to serve as practical way of showing God's love our community . For example, being there to talk to people, handing out bottles of water, giving a pair of flip-flops to women who lose their shoes, picking up glass bottles so they can’t be used as weapons, getting people in taxis, giving basic first aid if needed etc. The video on the left hand side shows a 'street angels' scheme in Scarborough.
Before detailed plans are considered, CTHLP would like to gauge support. If you may be interested, please see the minister, one of the stewards, or complete the contact form on the website.
