A marathon fund raising event

Former army musician, Marie Snell, is in training to run the London Marathon in April and is also working hard to raise the £2,000 sponsorship that is required in order to take part.  Marie, who is now the assistant clerk to Harwich Town Council, will be running on behalf of the Royal British Legion and the next fund raising event is a quiz night at Harwich’s Park Pavilion on Saturday 19th October.

Marie Snell says, “Raising the required £2,000 is as big a test as the training for the marathon itself and I was delighted when the Harwich Society’s quiz team agreed to run a quiz night to help towards raising the money.  Anyone who has attended one of their monthly quizzes will know what a good night out they are and will hopefully come along to take part.”

Marie’s husband, Matt, is still a serving army musician so the Royal British Legion was a natural cause to raise funds for and, as the Harwich branch of the Royal British Legion is based at the Park Pavilion, it was an obvious place to hold the quiz.

Chair of the Harwich branch of the Royal British Legion, Andy Wells, says, “We were very pleased to learn that Marie is to run the London Marathon on behalf of the British Legion and we will do all that we can to support her.  Raising the required £2,000 is no easy task so we would ask that anyone who enjoys a good quiz to join us on the night to put as much money in the pot as possible.”

The Harwich Society quiz team run monthly quiz nights on behalf of the Society along with various other quiz nights for local good causes throughout the year.

Colin Perry from the Harwich Society quiz team says, “The only running that we do is to the bar when last orders are called but we are looking forward to running the quiz on Marie’s behalf.  It will certainly be a good laugh and we are hoping for a good turn out for a very good cause.”

The quiz will begin at 8PM and is for teams of up to 8 people at £2 per head.  There is no need to book a table in advance.  Raffle prizes will be appreciated.
