A CANCER charity is urging people to take part in its brand new, brain-teasing quiz.

Macmillan Cancer Support wants groups and businesses in Worcestershire to get involved in its Mammoth Quiz and help raise £200,000 nationwide for the good cause.

The event, which involves the same quiz being held on the same day at the same time throughout the country, is back for its seventh year and already holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest simultaneous quiz.

To take part members of the public can host a quiz on Friday, February 27, anywhere from the pub or bowling green to an office or school.

It costs £10 to sign up to host a Mammoth Quiz and receive a welcome pack with the 2015 quiz and fundraising materials.
