And the winners are........

Friday night saw around 100 happy quiz goers turn up at Woodlands School for the Project Uganda Quiz and Chips. The evening raised over £600.00 towards the project and there was some serious competition from all the teams to be crowned quiz champions of the evening.

Ben Walton the quiz master had prepared a very challenging quiz with some of the questions causing some serious head scratching from even Alan Brady the Headmaster of Woodlands school and his team of experts!

The team names were very inventive, we had Ken Dodd's dad's dog is dead, QuizTeam Aguliera and our personal favourite The clever people plus Becky !

After several quiz rounds and a break for fish and chips, the results were counted and the overall winners were the Beaver Warrior Supremo's, in second place Hal's Hero's and in third Ken Dodd's Dad's dog is dead.

The winners took away the star prize of a luxury hamper, however no team went home empty handed as the Project Uganda team provided a great range of booby prizes including a Denture Bath, a ladies shaving kit, themal socks, toe nail clippers a door mat, dish cloths etc.

Project Uganda would like to say a big thanks to all who took part and a very special thank you to Ben our quiz master.

William Hague meets Project Uganda Students

Some of the Project Uganda students met the Rt Hon William Hague, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, at the Strutt Arms in Milford and were able to tell him about the Project Uganda trip.

He was so impressed by the students that he donated some money towards the trip and wished everyone a good time.

He said that it was good for students to experience a trip like this to see how other countries faced different problems from those faced by young people in this country.

Belper News was also there and their photographer took photos of the students with William so we are looking forward to reading about it in the next edition.
