Raising funds for @ActionOldham & awareness of @andysmanclubol

Andy's Man Club Oldham banded together for
a slightly slightly different cause than usual- Thursday night saw
the annual Charity Wars, where local charities go head to head in a
trivia quiz.
The
movie quiz was held at (and sponsored by) Clough Manor in Saddleworth, and ran by
Action Oldham,
a 'charitable fund that supports good causes across borough with
grants, so they can make a real difference to local lives.'
Having
spent most of my teenage days in a darkened bedroom watching hundreds
of movies and reading Total Film and Empire back issues, I was pretty
well-versed. We came first place. The prize: a pair of tickets to enter the Milltown Races, a trophy and £75 in cash (which will go towards promoting Andy's Man Club).
My team mates compared me to Rain
Man, from the film that, typically, I haven't seen.
A
good opportunity for Andy's Man Club to gain exposure, and to
encourage men to talk, leading- hopefully- to a reduction in suicide,
which is the biggest killer of men under 50.
The
White Hart is a lovely country pub out in the hills of leafy Lydgate.
Great pork sandwiches too.
