More than 20 teams battled it out for the honours in the Tendring District Council's (TDC) Chairman's Charity Quiz.

The eventual winners by just one point were Surreal Madrid who picked up the trophy and a bottle of wine each.

The evening was a huge success and raised £737.90 for the Chairman's beneficiaries who this year are St Helena Hospice and the RNLI.

The money was raised through the entry fee and a raffle.

TDC Chairman Alan Goggin was delighted with the outcome and thanked all those who took part, including quizmaster Adrian Robinson.

"We raised a fantastic amount of money for two very worthwhile causes and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves," he said.

"I was disappointed that my own team narrowly missed out on the trophy but in my book everyone was a winner."

Mr Robinson has organised more than 200 quizzes helping to raise more than £80,000 for charity
