THE quiz for enthusiasts
Our Harpenden Quiz of Quizzes, an ever-popular event staged in St George’s School hall, on a Friday evening in March, regularly attracts 30 or more teams of six people.
As well as giving some 200 quiz enthusiasts an entertaining evening it allows us, through the bar and a raffle, to raise funds for charity. Since the first Quiz of Quizzes was staged in 1996 more than £60,000 has been raised.

This involved filling crates with educational and recreational items for transport to Lviv, Ukraine, for distribution to children most affected by the war.
