What a fantastic evening we had last Saturday! The Leicester Bach Choir came together with friends, family, and supporters for a lively fundraising night filled with quiz questions, laughter, and, of course, fish and chips.
Around 70 of us gathered, ready to put our collective brainpower to the test. The quiz was no easy feat – the questions were tough, the competition was fierce, and the stakes (aside from the actual fish stakes) were high! With a chippy tea to fuel our thinking and a few bottles popped open to keep the spirits lively, the night was set for success.
Behind the scenes, a small but mighty team of five worked hard to make the event happen, and we were absolutely bowled over by the enthusiasm and support shown by everyone who attended. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we managed to raise over £900 for the choir – a truly incredible achievement!
A few special thank-yous are in order:
- Alison from St Andrew’s Church for helping us with our booking and making sure we had everything we needed on the night.
- Thomas, who kindly lent us a microphone – an essential piece of kit for any self-respecting quiz night!
- Andreas from Ocean Chippy, who somehow managed to get 68 portions of fish and chips out within half an hour, piping hot and perfectly cooked. Quite the culinary feat!
Our very own Nicki Little took on the role of quiz compere, keeping us entertained and on track, while our brilliant accompanist Ivan Linford worked the room with an impressive number of raffle tickets. Between the quiz, the raffle, and the general good vibes, we not only raised funds but also made some wonderful memories.
And, of course, we all came away with some niche and possibly useless knowledge that we may never need again—but that’s all part of the fun!
Looking Ahead: Our Spring Concert
With the success of our fundraiser still fresh in our minds, we’re now looking forward to an even bigger event – our Spring Concert next weekend! Excitement is building as we put the final touches on what promises to be a truly spectacular performance. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, now’s the time!
Thank you again to everyone who made our fundraising night such a success. Here’s to more music, more laughter, and many more memorable evenings with the Leicester Bach Choir!
