Christmas Initials Quiz 2023

This competition is now closed. If you enjoy it, feel free to send me a donation to the church or, if you would like the answers, please send a donation and an s.a.e.

The prize winners are:-

One overall winner for the highest number correct. Three people got all 60 this time. On the tie-break question we chose Mrs. J. Baker of Chesterfield.
One winner drawn from all completing one whole section: C Holmes of Slinfold
One winner drawn from all completing any 30 correctly: J Tomlinson of Slinfold
One winner drawn from all entries returned: R Haines of Horsham

Here are initial and number clues to 60 well-known phrases, (a few are less well-known) To help you, they are grouped roughly by theme. Apostrophes are ignored.

You don't have to answer every one of them (some years nobody gets it all correct), just solve as many as you can and send your answers to:-
J Walker, 12, West Way, Slinfold RH13 0SB
together with a donation of at least £3 for St Peter's Church, Slinfold (Cheques to "PCC of Slinfold" please)
(If you can fill in the Gift Aid declaration at the end of the page, your gift is worth even more).
Closing date is January 18th 2024.
(If you would like the complete answers, include an s.a.e. with your entry and we'll send them out in January.)
