Am doing a fund raiser at work to raise money for breast cancer tomorrow and because my 'peeps' are spread across 3 counties, it has been difficult to get sorted. However, I have 30 questions, that you cannot google, you have to think about it and you'll either know it or you will not but that has allowed everyone that wanted to get involved to play a part.
For an example, the clue is it's a shop and the prompt is Winter Shoes...........answer Boots!
Some of them are more difficult and for this one it definitely helps if your in to retail therapy!! One of the other catergories is sweets etc etc
I know the quizzes in 'Chat' have been popular and I thought that this idea would enable everyone, including those that do not make it into chat to participate and have a laugh into the mix.
It has been driving me crazy for a week with the ones I still have to get and I thought we could nick the idea.
The principle is you pay 50p to BL to enter (3 categories so £1.50 if you want to do all 3) , get the questions, have a week to think about them, answers back to me and I'll provide a couple of prizes for the winners of each catergory and post up a few of the more interesting incorrect answers (anonymously of course!!) so that the rest of us can have a laugh!
The more people that participate, the more I'll spend on a prize. C'mon peeps you know you want to. Just think how much we could raise if every single member spent just 50p entering one of them, never mind if everyone entered all 3!
What do you think? If sufficient numbers are interested, I'll give it a go.

My one aim is to serve the parrots in my care, to help those to weak to defend themselves, and bring alittle happiness into their lives, I prefer parrots to people but can handle them in moderation :) |

I will do it too, why don't you draft an "email invitation" and Marc can send it to all the members? (just randomly giving Marc jobs, he will be so pleased  ) You will need to set start and end dates and inc an email address for answers...... vx |

Just a thought - why not make it £1 each section - will make it a round number for PayPal, is still reasonable and will make more profit for BL? |
