The Fred Keenor Statue Appeal Committee is heading up the A470 out of Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil in a fundraising drive next month.
We’re holding a pub quiz fronted by Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust chair Tim Hartley, Cardiff’s answer to Jeremy Paxman, at the Brunswick Hotel in Church Street, Merthyr, on Thursday, October 7th (7.30pm for 8pm prompt start).
Entry is just £2.50 per person with a maximum of six per team. A raffle is also planned. All are welcome.
Tim is a veteran of hosting pub quizzes and raising money for good causes, particularly Gol, the Welsh football supporters’ charity, which provides aid to the under-privileged.
David Craig, project manager for the Fred Keenor Appeal Fund, said: “We felt it was important to take our fundraising out of Cardiff because there are so many Bluebirds supporters in Merthyr and the rest of the Valleys.
“We are very grateful to Brunswick’s landlord Geraint Handley for making the Brunswick available for a quiz. We hope it will be a great evening – with everyone having a fun time and at the same time raising money for the appeal fund.
“We ask fans to get to the Brunswick well before 8pm to ensure they get a place in the quiz which promises to be extremely popular.”
