The Rotary Club of St Ives is hoping to hit the £50,000 mark when it hosts its annual charity pub quiz on March 28.

The event, back for its 17th year, is expected to attract 50 pubs and clubs from across Huntingdonshire who will all compete at the same time, across the length and breadth of the district.

This year, the event will feature 10 new entrants and anyone wishing to take part is encouraged to visit their local.

The quiz starts at 7.45pm and the whole pub competes as one team, all at the same time. Last year, the quiz was won by the Samuel Pepys in Huntingdon. There are team prizes to be won and cheques for the winning pub’s selected charities.
