MACMILLAN Cancer Support is calling out for groups to get together and hold a Macmillan Mammoth Quiz this February and help raise vital funds for people affected by cancer.

The Macmillan Mammoth Quiz, now in its 7th year, has a brand new, brain-teasing quiz for 2015.

The Mammoth Quiz, organised by the Oundle Macmillan committee, is Macmillan's nation-wide quiz. Simply put, it is the same quiz, being held on the same day, at the same time, throughout the country. The mammoth quiz even holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest simultaneous quiz.

Macmillan is looking for local groups and businesses in Devon and Cornwall to host a quiz on February 27 to raise vital funds for people affected by cancer. A Macmillan Mammoth Quiz can be held anywhere from the local pub or bowling club, in an office or at school.

Dale Parks, who took part in the quiz last year in his local pub, said: 'It was a great quiz and everyone enjoyed it tremendously. The questions are so interesting and catch the imagination.'

Local fundraising manager for Macmillan Sian Ward-Edwards said: 'This is an easy way to raise funds to help people affected by cancer.

'We need people to help us make the 2015 Macmillan quiz the biggest and best yet. Anyone can take part, it's easy to organise and all the materials you need will be sent to you. Anyone that goes to a quiz night regularly could turn their February one into a Macmillan Mammoth Quiz.'

It costs £10 to sign up to host a Mammoth Quiz and this includes a quiz pack and fundraising materials.
