A DATE has been announced for the increasingly popular and prestigious Oldham Corporate Quiz.

Hosted and organised by the steering group team behind the Oldham Business Awards, the quiz will take place on Thursday, November 15, in The Oak Room at The White Hart, Lydgate.

Last year's winners, Innovative Technology Ltd, will be defending their title - and attempting to keep a tight grip on the trophy - having beaten off 30 teams from Oldham's business community at last year's event.

Teams of four cost £50 with every penny raised from entries and a raffle on the night being donated to Dr Kershaw's Hospice.

The format is similar to previous years with six rounds on Pot Luck, Entertainment, Pictures, Music, Sport and Current Affairs. There is an additional element this year, which will be revealed on the night.

The award winning chefs at The White Hart will provide supper for the teams at what has become an integral event of Oldham's social calendar and everyone will receive a welcome drink on arrival.

Entries can registered by email to martyn@newimage.co.uk.
