A charity quiz night organised by Lister Communications on Friday (October 17) has boosted two Gloucestershire charities.

The quiz took place at the Stonehouse Court Hotel, followed by live music from vocalist Hannah May.

Hannah, who helped organise the event, said: "Wow! What a night! So much fun was had by all and an amazing £2,355 was raised for Emily's Gift, part of The Pied Piper Appeal, and The Nelson Trust."

Smiths (Gloucester) Ltd were unable to hold onto their top spot as this year's crown went to 'Hubbles Bubble', a team which included Andy Jarrett from The Nelson Trust.

Organisers have expressed huge thanks to all those that donated raffle prizes, including Forest Green Rovers Football Club, Frampton Country Fair Ltd, The Tracklement Company Ltd, Elite Mobile, Lister Unified Communications, Aqua Construction Limited, Mike Burton Group Ltd, Quickstand, Giacom Northsound Ltd, Abzorb, The Cullimore Group, Stonehouse Court Hotel, City Plumbing (Ross on Wye), Bridge Cafe and Everybody's Beautiful.

Hannah added: "Without the generosity of businesses it wouldn't be possible to raise such a great amount of money."
