PARISH council members enjoyed a quiz night in the Dengie Hundred.

The Dengie Hundred Group of Parish Councils came together at the Southminster Bowls Club at the weekend for the annual quiz meeting.

After a tight night of tough questions, the Asheldham and Dengie Parish Council emerged victorious.

The quiz master for the evening was Peter Layzell with chief organiser being Miriam Holden.

Wendy Stamp, chairman of the parish councils' group, said: "It was a nice night and well fought by all teams.

"Sadly our numbers are decreasing with only five teams last year and five this. We will carry on as long as members want us to. It was great fun.

"A special mention to the volunteers who enabled us to have drinks and a lovely buffet was supplied also."
