Can You Help CGD RT Find the Answers? Thru' the Year
We'd love it if you can arrange a BigCharityQuiz near you and we'll try to make it as easy and as much fun as possible for you. The CGD RT is one of a five-charity consortium expanding the BigCharityQuiz nationwide and the modest local entry fees (from £2.50-£5/person) will add up to a Great Big Total. You can hold your quiz (large or small) at a local pub, club, hall, church, work or college, or wherever you can get people to come to!
We bring you the questions, and the ‘how to organize' advice. You bring us the event and have a great time!
