    CORRECTION: Apologies, that quiz is on Thursday night, December 1st in Bobby's. In aid of www.sowetoconnection.org so all money raised goes directly to work in South African townships. Prizes for first and second teams, finger food, original questions, great raffle prizes and a very good cause. €40 per table, kicks off just after 8.30

    Is the quiz still going on? Kinda lost faith for a few weeks when recriminations started flying and then dropped off, but if its still going might try and put a team in on Monday night

    that's fair enough, Constant, thanks. It will be an excellent night, though. All fresh questions, bit of finger food, really good raffle prizes etc, and every cent goes to work in the South African townships with no overhead at all. And all for the price of the cinema :)

    €40 per team is standard for a charity quiz, the amount of prizes shouldn't be a concern for entering.

    If you believe in the cause then that's all that should matter.

    If you believe in the cause then why not give the money without needing to enter and take the chance of taking a prize which could be sold to support the cause???

    Charities don't get enough money, (I give to charity on a regular basis, Irish Kidney Association and Irish Heart Foundation, in case you're wondering), and because people don't donate they have to hold events which people feel like they're getting something for their money.

    I do go to charity quizzes, because I like quizzes, I also choose which quiz I go to based on whether or not I agree with the cause. I don't go in order to win prizes. If I happen to win and the prize is an item I take the prize (usually a worth a lot less than the money taken in during the course of the evening and usually donated to the charity by a local business, quite often a cheap bottle of wine). IF the prize is cash, the unwritten rule is it gets donated back to the charity, and I do this gladly.

    Don't try to make me out to be a bad person for being willing to contribute to charity.

    I wasn't actually, being honest. But well done.

    I'm not; you're getting defensive all on your own in this regard.

    I believe your post was a jab at the fact that I'm willing to pay into a charity quiz and then take a prize if I win.

    I'm not going to go into it any further with you. If you don't want to go to a charity quiz because you find the price too steep, €10 a head is pretty cheap as nights out go, then that's your problem.

    It wasn't. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Relax.
    I'm not going to go into it any further with you.

    That has always been your choice.

    If you don't want to go to a charity quiz because you find the price too steep, €10 a head is pretty cheap as nights out go, then that's your problem.

    I'm a PhD student. €10 is what it costs to feed me for one day of the week, so excuse me for pointing out that it is actually a decent sum to some of us these days. I don't drink anymore so a night out is usually pretty cheap anyway.


    My only point is that I felt that €10 was a bit steep for a charity quiz, that's all. If it was lower I might go to it seeing as Bobby's is only a stone's throw away.

    Hello,

    I just wanted to ask, whether you know any regular (weekly) pub quizzes in Limerick City? I know the one in O'Connels Pub every Monday. But are there also other quizzes? Especially on other days than Monday?

    Cheers,
    Irina
