Dear David

I apologise for e-mailing you unexpectedly but I couldn't find an alternative contact to request your permission first. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to forward this e-mail onto the correct person, I'm not sure whether it would be Henry Morgan or Chris Morris?

We are looking for people from all over the country to take part in BBC1's brand new Saturday night show 'The People's Quiz 2007' and I wanted to invite the members of the West Midlands Orienteering Association to participate. Whilst it is a competition for individuals we would welcome teams or groups of friends to come along and audition together and there is a massive six figure prize on offer for the winner.

I would be hugely grateful if you would be kind enough to spread the word that we are looking for quiz enthusiasts and pass the details to your members. If you would like me to send some information in the post please let me know your address and I'll send out a poster and/or some flyers.

We will be holding auditions throughout January starting at the Birmingham NEC on the 7th of January. Contestants must be 16 or over.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Kind Regards,

Anna Dunkley Researcher, The People's Quiz 2007

Update 21 Dec 2006
New Regional Development Officers will start work in January 2007

I am delighted to announce that four new RDOs will soon be part of the Development Team in England: Tony Callow in West Midlands, Helen Errington in the northern part of the South East and part of East Anglia, Chris Robinson in the southern part of the South East and Sarah Watkins in the North West. They bring a lot of experience to the team and I am sure that they will help clubs and schools with their development plans.

I hope that we will re-advertise in the New Year for development staff in the North East and the northern part of East Anglia and in the meantime I will cover the NE enquiries and Helen Errington and I will respond to queries from north Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
