Closing date: Midnight 30th April 2011
Thanks

Whoop whoop from me & Ali
I knew this was coming as SM and LW very kindly asked my permission first, I was absolutely over the moon that they did
My lovely little lady (well she was more of a madam !) brought so much love, happiness and joy to my family’s life and I think it’s wonderful that with the funds raised from the quiz this could offer the same to other less fortunate boxers.
Up there Ali will be doing a little dance of approval, you know that bouncy one that boxers do !!
I'll get my cheque off to you for soon.
Thanks again all
Doogs & Ali

Don't give up on it Lai. If Duncie here can do them, anyone can mind you I was a bit slow off the mark with some of them, SM is very cryptic but clever. I set one or two of them (big help I was ) but I was her sounding board and as I say, if I can get them you lot certainly can

Re: Bumper Cryptic Quiz in aid of Boxer Welfare Scotland in memory of Ali
It's coming along nicely now SM - I like to have a look first thing in the morning and add a few more. By the time it's due in we should have most of them filled in at least
I bet Doogs and Ian are a formidable team

Re: Bumper Cryptic Quiz in aid of Boxer Welfare Scotland in memory of Ali
Thanks for the sheets SM - oh ma heid, that looks affa difficult but will give it a right good bash !
Just thought I'd attach an ad that was in the Scottish newspapers last week. There has also been local appeals for people to donate to BWS / foster dogs so the money raised in this quiz will be very much welcomed by the organisation

that's a great photo of a beautiful boxer amongst the bluebells
wow as you say Doogs the quiz is soooooooooooooo hard. I felt sure you would have finished it in an afternoon as you are good at pub quizes :study:
My mum came for lunch yesterday and we answered quite a few so it's coming on but I've just counted up and we still have another 30 to answer We enjoyed doing it though especially as it is for such a good cause.

Glad you are enjoying the quiz Doogs and Lai. LW got the answers, I think you might kick yourselves when you get the answers, but that is of no help to you know. Sorry

Re: Bumper Cryptic Quiz in aid of Boxer Welfare Scotland in memory of Ali
Any news on who won the quiz SM and how much you have raised ?
I'm useless at these things and really struggled with it but as far as I'm concerned I bought a few and the money is going to a charity which is very close to my that's the main thing for me.
Well done the two of you for even thinking up those questions, great job

Re: Bumper Cryptic Quiz in aid of Boxer Welfare Scotland in memory of Ali
Doogs, after the prize money was withdrawn we made £64. We are donating a further £36 raised from easyfundraising/easysearch to round it up to £100. We are really pleased we can send this to Boxer Welfare Scotland. Just getting the details from Lorraine.

Re: Bumper Cryptic Quiz in aid of Boxer Welfare Scotland in memory of Ali
Hey SM well done on raising £64 and absolutely brilliant that you rounded up the money and gave £100 to BWS I know Lorraine will be well chuffed with that
This means an awful lot to me so thanks again for your wonderful idea to donate to BWS and thanks to everyone who bought the (very hard) quiz sheets !!!!
