Hastings RNLI Big Quiz

The Hastings RNLI Big Quiz is back at the East Hastings Sea Angling Association clubhouse on Sunday 22 November, one of the station's most popular nights of the year. It's a team event — you'll want to pull together a group of up to six — and the entry is £5 per person, with all the profit going to the RNLI.

If you're not familiar with the charity, it's the one that saves lives at sea. Its volunteers run a 24-hour search and rescue service around the coasts of the UK and the Republic of Ireland, operating 238 lifeboat stations and more than 240 lifeguard units. Since it was founded in 1824, its crews have saved over 146,700 lives. The money raised from the quiz goes towards the kit and equipment the volunteers need to launch whenever they're called out.

Organiser Veej describes it as always a great fun evening, and it's a night that tests your knowledge while supporting the cause. There are prizes to be won, and bragging rights for the winning team. Last year it sold out well before the event, so if you're planning on going, it's worth getting your table sorted early.

Advance table bookings are taken at the RNLI Hastings Shop on The Stade, which is open 10:30am to 4:30pm daily and takes cash only. Tickets may also be available on the door. The quiz itself starts at 7:30pm, with doors opening at 7pm, at the East Hastings Sea Angling Association clubhouse, The Stade, Hastings, TN34 3FJ.
