Picture Quiz

Many thanks once again for your generosity in supporting our Picture Quiz. This year it has raised £616 towards the Friends of RV Mission which will help with the ongoing medical and nutritional costs at the leprosy village in Purulia, West Bengal, which houses around 40 long term leprosy sufferers.

There were a small number of entries submitted with all answers correct, and the first one of these drawn out of the hat, and winning a selection of wines, was Mr Alan Rea, of Diggle, near Oldham.
