QUIZ contestants crammed into Kinver Community Centre to take part in an annual competition hosted by the BBC's 'Voice of the balls' Alan Dedicoat.

A total of 160 quizzers took part in the event, organised by the Rotary Club of Kinver, which helped raise more than £1,300 on November 21 for Children in Need.

The figure was boosted further by cheque presentations fromGoldthorne Park School in Wolverhampton and Pershore High School which helped take the final tally to almost £3,000.

Rotary Club president Roger Stephenson thanked the quizzers, many of whom had travelled long distances to take part in what is the largest and oldest of a series of similar quizzes hosted by the BBC announcer each year across the country.
