Russell Armer Charity Quiz Night Winners!

Hayton Winkley's team were the winners of the Russell Armer Homes Charity Quiz Night shield (team, above from left: Suzie Fisher, John Oldroyd, Jean Cowling, Stephen Read). Now in its eighth successful year, the Russell Armer Homes annual Charity Quiz Night saw teams from the local business community vying for the coveted shield. With more teams than ever - twenty-five this year - the now famous quiz had to relocate from its usual venue, the Heron pub on Heron Hill, to Kendal Rugby Club to accomodate the growth in entrants.

Quizmaster Martyn Nicholson ( Russell Armer Homes’s Managing Director) fired the questions as usual and a hearty hotpot supper and charity raffle was enjoyed by all.

An entry fee for the quiz, along with the sale of raffle tickets helped to raise a grand total of £600 on the night. All of which goes to Russell Armer Homes’ two chosen charities: The Great North Air Ambulance Service and MacMillan Cancer Relief.

“Our Charity Quiz Night is now firmly established as a major event on the local charity scene and so many people look forward to it,” commented Martyn Nicholson. “I’d just like to thank all those companies who entered a team, made a donation, contributed a raffle prize and helped us to raise such a great sum of money for these two worthy causes.”

Our Hayton Winkley team achieved a grand total of 47 out of a possible 60 points by correctly identifying the flag of Hungary, the colour of Homer Simpson’s car and the country of origin of the Lambada, among other questions.

Hayton Winkley Casino Night

Hayton Winkley held another very successful "Casino Night" at Castle Green Hotel, Kendal on Thursday 15th May and guests and hosts alike had a very enjoyable evening. The sun was shining and the terrace off the Kendal room was the perfect place to enjoy a glass of fizz!

The gaming tables and croupiers were provided by Odds On Fun Ltd and although the gaming did not involve real cash, some serious gambling took place! At the end of the evening, the winner was the person who'd managed to accumulate the most "chips" and first prize was won by Mary Hastie of Tenon Ltd, with Mike Winkley (ex-Hayton Winkley) coming second. A very interesting "bowl food" buffet was served and a good time was had by all!
