Quiz no 6 Sunday 7th August

[alfiesmum]

[In this quiz members can have a go at as many questions as they like, but MUST nominate a different rescue for the prize each time as we'd like as many rescues as possible to benefit.

IDEAS FOR RESCUES TO NOMINATE can be found at

foa-rct.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=quizdetails&action=display&thread=7653

***It would be a HUGE help if the person winning the prize in the quiz could PM the donor and give them the address of the rescue and/or any individual it should be sent to***

All questions should be answered within this thread, using a new post for each question number, answer, and the name of the rescue you are nominating to receive the prize. (eg. Q1 Rabbits FOA RCT)

The winner of each prize will be the first member to correctly answer the associated question - Q1 for Prize 1 etc.

The SUBJECT OF THIS WEEK'S QUIZ is: CORNWALL!!
and the quiz ADJUDICATOR is: Alfiesmum

There is no time limit for this quiz, it will end when all the prizes have been won.

When LOOKING FOR YOUR ANSWERS please consider using Easysearch rather than Google, then you can select a rescue of your choice to benefit even further financially from your efforts. For more information see

Wondered if I could be cheeky and nip in here to ask if you could possibly help with some more prizes for these quizzes please.

Several people have been VERY generous so far, so I'd love to see more people offering now, so that it doesn't get too onerous for anyone.

The rescues all seem very keen on collars and leads, but would also welcome books of stamps and/or vouchers (eg from Pets at Home) too. These have the added advantage that they don't cost so much to post (which is quite important if you are regularly sending the prizes out!)

There are lots of other ideas on the thread below, where you can also post what you can offer
