For the last two years the organisers have held their phenomenally successful quiz night in aid of Special Olympics (Norfolk), a charity for which, they have raised over £12,000. These quiz nights have been such a success, that they are going to do it all over again!
Special Olympics Quiz 3 will take place on Friday 1st November from 7pm, with the quiz itself commencing at 7.30pm. Once again this will be held at Norwich Rugby Club, North Walsham Road, Norwich, NR12 7BW.
Tickets are priced at £12 and this includes the quiz itself and also a meal, which this year is lasagne (vegan option will be available)
On the night there will also be a raffle with some fantastic prizes available, as well as an auction, including several unique experiences and sporting memorabilia for you to bid on.
Everything they collect through tickets sales and on the night will be going directly to Special Olympics (Norfolk).
Organiser Chris Share said, "I really do hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend. We are looking for you to bring your friends and family with you, or join with colleagues and their partners to form a team of 4-6 people and make an evening of it."

EDWARD HARRISON - RIP
Holt RFC have announced the death, on Monday 16th September, of Edward Harrison, a founding member of their Club.
Edward was at the pre-match lunch with us two days earlier when we entertained Holt. His Grandson Henry is the current 1st XV Captain.
Many of our older members will have known Edward well, and the condolences of Norwich Rugby Club are extended to the Harrison family and Holt RFC.
A service to celebrate Edward's life will be held at the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Cromer, on Tuesday 15 October 2019 at 12 noon. All who knew Edward will be welcome.
DON OSWIN - RIP
We were deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of Don oswin
Club Historian Roy Bishop said of Don - "He played on the wing for the club in the 1950s. His daughter lived in Turkey and came home to care for him in his final days. He was a fine piano player who practiced daily on his lovely grand piano.
He was a staunch club man who never for a moment considered supporting any other club. A very kind and cultured man, he cared very much about NRFC and attended pre-match lunch for just about every home game. A Norwich gentleman through and through."
The sincere condolences are extended by the club to Don's family and friends
The funeral will be held at 3.00pm on Friday 27th September at St. Giles Church, St.Giles Street, Norwich.
Director of Rugby David Everitt is seeking a volunteer to video home games. If you would be interested in this, the equipment will be provided, please contact him. Details on the 'Contact Us' page.
