It was a close-fought contest with the top three teams finishing within 6 points of each other.

As well as securing individual prizes for their win, The Friday Faves will have their team name engraved on the Meanley Trophy donated for the event by the late Graeme Meanley who was Radio Warneford's Life President.

The Quiz was held at The Wardens in Kenilworth and the evening also included the presentation of awards to members for the best programmes broadcast by Radio Warneford during 2011.

Coming Soon to Radio Warneford

The Two Castles Run
Sunday 10th June 2012

Paul Deavall will be donning his shorts...Radio Warneford member Paul Deavall will be donning his shorts and running shoes to take part in the 2012 Two Castles Run.

The run sets off from Warwick Castle and travels through the streets of Warwick and the surrounding countryside ending up 10km later in the ruins of Kenilworth Castle.

Paul has been a volunteer member at Radio Warneford for eight years and has decided to raise money for the station. "I get to witness first hand the joy, comfort, excitement, amusment and nostalga the station can bring to patients, staff and visitors, and hope to be able to do so for many more years to come," says Paul. "However for this to continue fundraising is essential and this is why I'd love you to sponsor me doing the Two Castles Run 2012 in aid of Radio Warneford."

If you would like to support Paul and give him some encouragement, please visit his sponsorship page at MyDonate.
