To raise further funds for the company, I came up with the idea of hosting a pub quiz. We looked at local venues and decided upon the bar Walkabout in the city centre. They gave us the space for free which meant any money we raised was entirely profit plus they threw in a bar tab for the winning prize!

I met with marketing to ask them to create an event on our social media and appointed Charlotte one of our performers to help me with the organising of the actual quiz questions.

So let’s get quizzical, we had sparked much interest on social media so we were expecting a good turnout. We set the entry price at £2 per person, the floor started to fill as people arrived. The quiz was a really enjoyable night for everyone, and gave a lot of students who came a chance to have a night off from studies and let their hair down. Charlotte and I (Pinpoint’s answer to Ant and Dec) hosted the night through a range of rounds from general knowledge to music, which obviously had to be space themed.

We were overwhelmed with the response of the quiz as we were unsure how many people would turn up, overall we raised £126 which was an amazing addition to the money currently raised!
