A RADIO station which broadcasts at Basingstoke hospital will hold its annual quiz night for teams to test their music and general knowledge.

Hospital Radio Basingstoke will hold the yearly event at the Irish Centre, a community centre in Council Road, on Saturday, September 21 to raise funds and awareness for the charity.

The charity is run by volunteers across a variety of roles including show presenters and ward visitors. The radio station broadcasts 24 hours a day to the patients and staff at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital.

Chairman of the charity, Scott Rawlings, said: our annual quiz is a great opportunity for us to raise vital funds for our charity and the work we do as a community and well-being radio station.

"There’s teams of up to 6, and we would love to see as many people as possible attending. There’s a raffle with fantastic prizes, and a great quiz lined up to test your knowledge!

"Also maybe you’d be interested in getting involved with the station. Anyone who's interested, we look forward to seeing you there."
