The latest Breakfast Club quiz was held on the 14th September at the Charlton Kings Social Club. Seven teams battled it out for the trophy answering questions on the Paris Olympics/Paralympics, Pokemon or Paint, First & Last, World records as well as identifying animals by their Latin names finishing off with the Wipeout round. Last years winners, On Your Marks returned under the name “Your a quizzard Harry” but were unable to defend the title and lost out to past winners, the Armadillo’s, who took the trophy home with a score of 79.

The winning Armadillo’s team.

The total raised on the night along with the Go Fund me event page totaled £1545. A great achievement by all and many thanks from Rob, Gill & Lee to all those who attended, bought raffle tickets or just donated helping make the grand total. To date the quiz has raised over £22,000.

See you next year!

Well what happened to 15, 16 and 17 you may ask? Well they did happen but life got in the way for all of us and apologies for not updating the details.

This years event was held on Friday 6th October at the Charlton Kings Social Club. Some of the old regulars were there along with some newcomers and eleven teams battled out for the Trophy over seven rounds of music, flowers, sport, 2007, US States, Strictly Come Bake off and finishing with general knowledge.

After a couple of hours of On Your Marks led the way with a winning total of 93 from a possible 108. Congratulations and hope to see you next year when you come to defend the title.

The total raised on the night and through the Go Fund Me event page has raised over £1500 for the charity. A great effort and thanks to all who contributed to a fun night.

See you all next year

In these days of Zoom quizzes, Breakfast Club Tanzania kept with that theme and held a fundraising Zoom event on the 20th February 2021. It was well attended and again raised much needed funds for the Charity in these difficult times for all.

So a big thank you all to those who attended, regulars and first timers, and those unable to quiz but donated, it’s very welcome and much appreciated.

The sum raised was in excess of £2000.00 with gift aid still to be added. A tremendous effort by all that will help Habiba and the team continue to deliver breakfast for the pupils for several months to come.

The 15th Annual Quiz will happen later in the year and its format will depend on the situation at that time. Hopefully we can be together and the normal fun and entertainment can return for the evening.

Watch this space for more details!

Due to Coronavirus the 14^th Annual Breakfast Club Tanzania quiz was held online. The quiz is one of the main fundraising events of the year and despite holding it online during the lockdown we still managed to raise over £1800 excluding gift aid.

The quiz itself was the normal light hearted affair but with the added bonus of Rob “Quizmaster” Ahearne treating us all to a Vik Reeves inspired Club Singing round along with videos that should never see the light of day again!

A Hamper is on its way to the winning team, Three Men and The Baylys. The quiz was a close run contest with several teams all within a point or two of each other.

It was great to see some of the quiz veterans of previous events such as the Armadillo’s, Mid-life Crisis and Vacant Lot.

Thanks to all who took part and stay safe everybody.

A little late but we would like to wish all followers/givers to Breakfast Club Tanzania

“heri ya mwaka mpya”

A happy new year in swahili

Thanks to all who attended the quiz on 25th October.

The evening raised £1270 which will help fund the programme for a few months.

The champions, who were new to the quiz, were the ‘MuchoMucho’ Blotto knocking the Armadillos off their perch and denying them a possible hat trick.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came along to our 12th quiz on 19th October

On the night we raised £1870 which will keep the programme running for several months.

The winners of the quiz and defenders of their title, were the ‘Armadillos’.

On November 10th we returned to the Charlton Kings Club for our 11th Quiz.

The grand total raised for the evening was a whopping £1957 which will buy resources for several months.

First time winners were the Armadillos, winning on an exciting tie breaker question!
