Stour Chambers' Charity Quiz!

Space Between was invited to a charity quiz hosted by Stour Chambers at The Westgate Hall in Canterbury, Kent to raise money for The Pilgrims Hospice.

We were invited to a charity quiz hosted by Stour Chambers at The Westgate Hall in Canterbury, Kent to raise money for The Pilgrims Hospice.

The quiz was organised by Kate Kochnari with the marketing team there, and they asked whether we would donate any prizes for the raffle. In typical techy fashion, we got together and chose a few cool tech prizes:

  • Amazon Fire 7 - This budget tablet is perfect for someone looking for an introduction into mobile computing. It comes with the Amazon App Store and a few pre-installed apps.
  • Chromecast - Google's contribution to the TV dongle market, the Chromecast plugs into the back of your TV through HDMI and is controlled by a smartphone, laptop or tablet. It lets you stream from your laptop or computer and has some pre-installed apps like the BBC iPlayer and youtube.
  • Amazon Fire TV stick - A competitor to the Chromecast, the 'fire stick' works in a similar way but comes with its own remote control. Netflix and iPlayer are installed out-of-the-box.
  • Sailor Jerry's Limited Edition - We thought it wouldn't be a raffle donation without a good bottle of booze..

The quiz included a music round, general knowledge, current affairs, aliases, cities of the world and a picture round. We got off to a flakey start with the aliases round, but played our joker on the music round and gained a healthy lead. Mike Vigor from Big Blue Dev, a friend of ours at Space Between, has watched more films than we've written lines of code - he carried us through that round.

We didn't expect to win and we had clearly all gone to have some fun as we quickly got a round of drinks in after the demorilizing aliases round. As the night went on, we noticed that not only were we maintaining a healthy lead on the points, we were also storming ahead of everyone else in how much we were drinking!

After the raffle was drawn they announced they'd made just under £1000 for The Pilgrims Hospice!

A great night out. Thanks to Stour Chambers.
