Brain-teasers for Army cash
The money continues to roll in for the Jam Jar Army and the total continues to tick up, with several more fund-raising opportunities left this year.
A raffle held at the Duchess’s Community High School performance of The Crucible brought in £160 while a jar at Wooler Police Station collected £29.90. The overall total now stands at £11,259.45.
Earlier this year, we ran a competition involving brain-teasers to raise funds for the Jam Jar Army and we can now reveal the answers to the 30 questions. The winner, of tickets to The Hobbit at the Playhouse, will be revealed next week.
