FRS Quizzes

Every year the FRS Charity Committee raises thousands of pounds for a range of different charities - Jewish, non-Jewish, local, national and international. How do we raise all this money?

FRS Quizzes

One of our main events is the now renowned quiz at FRS every Spring, where contestants pit their wits against our quiz team. The next quiz at FRS will be on Saturday, 15 March 2010.

Such is the popularity of our quiz format that we are also asked to run many supper quizzes for outside organisations. In the past year alone we ran quizzes for around 20 schools groups, synagogues, businesses and charities. A fee is charged based on the number of people who come to the event, and all money we raise from this activity goes to support our 'charity in action' activities. We have built up a vast store of quiz questions (all devised by experienced Committee members) and expertise in ‘putting the show on the road’ with a quiz master, scorers, scoring system and all the usual quiz paraphernalia to give you an entertaining, modern quiz!
