Guild Annual Charity Quiz – Monday 9th February 2026

Prizes to be won with bottles of wine for members of the winning team

7.00pm for 7.30pm – York Cricket & Rugby Union Football Club, Shipton Road, York

The Guild invites members and non-members to form a team (or teams) and participate in yet another enjoyable evening. As in the past, food will be provided at half time, with meat pie, chips and peas being the staple fare. There will be a vegetarian option which must be ordered in advance. A cash bar is available in the function room where the quiz takes place.

The cost of entering a team (consisting of NO MORE THAN 4 MEMBERS) will be £22.50 per head, including food. For supporters wishing to be fed, the cost is the same. ‘Scratch teams’ will be created on the night for those wishing to participate but who are not already part of a team. The winning team will be awarded a prize of a bottle of wine per team member. Please use the application form below. 

As in previous years, there will be a raffle, so any donated raffle prizes will be most welcome, together with any other donations. All raffle proceeds go to the Lord Mayor’s and Sheriff's charities. 

We hope that you will be able to support this event by entering a team or teams. Application forms and cheques should be sent to the address below as soon as possible, as numbers are restricted. The final date for applications is 2nd February 2026. All payments will be acknowledged electronically.
