Quiz Night

We had been gearing up for the centre quiz night for ages, debating who was maybe more clever than they looked, making suggestions as to who would win.

I think most people found the questions extremely difficult, well thats what they said anyway!

No questions on music, but a rather difficult ' Cornish' round even for a native Cornish lass such as myself.

The night managed to raise over £500.00 for the centre which was fantastic news and is set to become an annual event here at the centre along with the possibility of a Bingo Night!

Hoe-down show down makes money for us!

On Saturday 2nd October the St Austell and district branch of Soroptimists, held a barn dance with proceeds very kindly coming to the Merlin Project.

The lovely lady who organised it all Judith Skinner came into the centre today to drop in a donation for us. £329.00 was made on the night!

It sounds like everyone had a really wonderful evening with attendees who said they just wanted to spectate not partake finding it irresistible to not join in.

I am hoping that they hold the dance again next year...I quite fancy getting my cowgirl gladrags on and dancing the night away to a good ol fashioned hoe-down

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
