The pub quiz at the {Poppy & Pint last Sunday was a great success, with 25 teams and nearly 100 people taking part  There were some demanding questions, badger bonus rounds and spot questions. The winning team got a cracking 83 out of 100 points.

We raised around £418 from entrance fees, raffle and sale of wooly badgers.to help the work of NWT in Rushcliffe and across the county. A big thanks to Niel Glenn, our question setter, to the rest of the team who collected money and tore up raffle tickets et al. But also to the Poppy & Pint who allowed us use of the room (and a prize), but also Castle Rock Brewery, Notts County Football Club, Notts County Cricket Club who also contributed to the prizes, as well as Boots, and Sue Reesby who provided raffle prizes.

The search is on for wildlife heroes from across the county as we seek nominations for the 2018 Wildlife on Your Doorstep Awards. We’re looking to recognise indivduals, groups, business, schools, in fact anyone that is going the extra mile to help wildlife in their local area. Nottingamshire Wildlife Trust is built on local action and we believe that it is essential to highlight the efforts of those who are doing their bit to make our county better for wildlife and people. We’ll be making awards right across the county thanks to the support of both CEMEX UK and EDF Energy (Cottam & West Burton).

The closing date for nominations is March 5th and should be sent to communications@nottswt.co.uk
