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 QuizzesOur main event is our renowned quiz weekend held on 2 successive evenings in Spring bringing 350 contestants to pit their wits against our quiz team. Such is the popularity of our quiz format that we also run many supper quizzes for outside organisations, charging a fee based on the number of people who come to the event. We have built up a vast store of quiz questions (all devised by Committee members) and expertise in ‘putting the show on the road’ with a quiz master, scorers, scoreboard and all the usual quiz paraphernalia. In the past year we ran quizzes for around 20 synagogues, schools and charities.
