Sainsburys Quiz Night

A big thank you to our friends at Sainsbury’s in Salisbury for raising over £600 at their recent Quiz Night.

Over 120 people from all over the county took part in this fun evening which was hosted by Graham Seaman, presenter from BBC Radio Wiltshire. The winning team was the ‘BBC Boffins’ from BBC Wiltshire’s Swindon Studio, and hot on their heels in second place was ‘Team Robin’ from the Salisbury Office of Smith & Williamson.

Our thanks go to all those who took part in this event, to those who donated prizes for the raffle, to Graham for hosting the event and to Muriel Prince at Sainsbury’s for organising it. We are enormously grateful for the continued support of Sainsbury’s Salisbury.

Over 300 Santas of all ages and abilities joined top heptathlete and Gladiator Lucy Boggis at Longleat for our first Santa Fun Run. The event has already raised over £4,000 - thank you to everyone who took part and to all those who sponsored a Santa.

SSIT Trustee Jeremy Major commented: “We are thrilled that so many people turned out to support us on this first Santa Fun Run at Longleat, a number of them coming from Cornwall and Hertfordshire. We are hugely grateful to all those who helped make this event such a success and in particular to Lord Bath for choosing SSIT as Charity of the Year 2010 thus enabling us to do the event, and to Lucy for her support. Our thanks go to The Bath Arms and Gerald Simonds for helping sponsor this event, to Orangements for providing the PA and music, and to 3tr fm for helping promote it. Special thanks must also go to 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment who gave up their free time to help with the manning of this event.”
