Your
Christmas Present ……
…….. from Billericay Lions
We hope you had fun trying to solve our Ditloid quiz and
you will find all the answers below.
If you enjoyed doing this quiz, during the year we run a
series of postal quizzes that can be downloaded from
www.billericaylions.com/quiz.htm. You will have to be quick if you want to
try the XMAS Music Quiz as the closing date is January 9th,
but later in the month we will be releasing Coast – The Quiz, with 100
cryptic clues to places around the coastline of the UK.
If you prefer to take part in quiz nights, we also run a
number of them throughout the year. The next one is February 6th and
is a Gourmet Charity Quiz in association with Taste Italia, more
details can be found at
www.billericaylions.com/Gourmet Charity Quiz.htm
If you would like to be notified of future postal quizzes
or quiz nights send an email to
quiz@billericaylions.com saying which type of quiz you prefer (or both) and
we will keep you informed.
