THE Alton Society scraped home to win the Alton Lions’ autumn quiz by just one point to secure a chocolate prize, presented by Lions president Mike Gwynne (pictured left).

Down on his knees to receive the gift is Alton Society member Tony Cross, with fellow members Sue Dell, Bob Booker, John and Sally Pritchard and Martyn Dell.

Held onNovember 3 at the Royal British Legion Club in Anstey Park, the quiz raised £700 for Dementia Friends Alton, with a £50 donation to the RBL.

* Alton Lions began their annual house-to-house collection on Wednesday in aid of the Lions Christmas appeal, which provides gifts, mainly in the form of food vouchers, to support families and individuals in need in Alton and the wider community at Christmas.
