MP Janet Anderson has promised a prize for the first night of a popular sports quiz which returns to Darwen on Friday after more than 35 years.

The quiz at Bolton Road Conservative Club is at 7.45pm and the Darwen MP has wished the night 'great success.' Organiser Harold Heys said: "We are thrilled with the prize and we hope the night does really well." The quiz was a major talking point in the 1960s and veterans are already lining up to take part. Harold was the inspiration behind the quiz and is the driving force behind its revival. He said: "There is a lot of interest from people who want a shot at the title so we are hoping for a good turnout." Entry costs £6 for a team of four and all proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK.
