We're very sorry about today's quiz - we just couldn't get over the technical issues no matter what we tried!

You can try out the quiz in your own time at the link below - we should warn you that the last round was made up 100% by the kids, so the answers may not be as completely obvious as you first think!

Good luck, and Merry Christmas!

Work-life took over for a little while - but we've cleared some space in our schedule (of watching football) to bring you the Friday Night-In Quiz! (It's basically just our Saturday Night Gameshow Quiz, but on a Friday ... because the football is back on Saturday ...)

Expect 5 rounds from your favourite gameshows, and we'll maybe even throw in some prizes!

We apologise that things have been a little quiet around here recently, but as restrictions continue to ease, real-life has been increasingly busy (not to mention the football has been on too ...)!

This past weekend, a team of members from The Stayin' Inn Community took part in our second Off the Beatson Track x The Stayin' Inn event in aid of the Beatson Cancer Charity - and we're thrilled to say that we smashed through our target of £10,000 raised (you can still donate to any member of the team here: justgiving.com/team/thestayininn2021)

That takes our fundraising total from The Stayin' Inn to an astronomical £116,392, with almost £68,000 of that going to the Beatson!

We're extremely proud of that achievement and we couldn't have done it without you! We may even host a little quiz to celebrate ...

13/06/2021

Whilst we all recover from Off the Beatson Track x The Stayin' Inn, check out this video from The Hole Way Round who joined Andy for 18-holes last week. The video mainly features Andy wandering in the trees looking for his ball ...

Geo & Mack from The Hole Way Round are doing their own challenge next weekend, where they're aiming to play all 95 holes on Arran in one day in aid of ArCaS Arran Cancer Support Trust and Calums Cabin - drop them a donation if you can! justgiving.com/team/theholewayround

We're very excited about Off the Beatson Track x The Stayin' Inn this Sunday - and not only because the weather is looking glorious! We can't wait to get out and walk that 10km (👀) with you all!

Our team has so far been sponsored to the tune of just under £5,500 for the Beatson Cancer Charity - but we've got last years total of £17,000 to aim for. We know it's a big ask - but we also know we can do it! If you can spare anything, drop a member of the team a donation here: justgiving.com/team/thestayininn2021

If you're taking part, we will be meeting in the Whitelee Windfarm car park from 11am to distribute t-shirts and badges, with an aim to do a quick warmup with Ferri Fit before heading off on our walk. It should take no more than 3 hours to complete the loop. The weather is supposed to be sunny and warm, but it is Scotland, so prepare appropriately! If you've not signed up to take part yet, follow the instructions in the event page!

Please also note, the Eaglesham access Road to Whitelee Windfarm is closed. You will need to access from the A77.

Later this week we'll be joining two of our good friends, Graeme and Geo from The Hole Way Round, for a round of golf as they continue their warmup to playing 95-holes in ONE DAY in support of ArCaS Arran Cancer Support Trust and Calums Cabin later this month.

This charity challenge is part of The Hole Way Round's goal of playing every golf course in Scotland (over 550 of them!) - so if you can, drop them a little donation here today: justgiving.com/team/theholewayround.

We're very excited to help them tick another course off their list and wish them all the best in their fundraising efforts!

On the 17th June 2021, the boys are taking on the challenge to play every hole on every course across the isle of arran.
we will be fundraising for 2 fantastic charities - ArCaS Arran Cancer Support Trust and Calums Cabin.

We would LOVE for you to support us to raise as much as we can as most small charities have really suffered during the pandemic as normal fundraising activities couldn't happen.

If you would like to donate please find our justigiving page at www.justgiving.com/team/theholewayround here you can chose whether to donate to Arcas or Calum's Cabin (Justgiving sadly don't split this for you so have to do a team)

Please share with anyone you think would like to follow us on this adventure. We will be sharing clips, photos, videos and fundraising updates throughout the day.

Thank you as always, THWR

Last night we hosted our first ever LIVE Stayin' Inn event at SWG3 and we had a blast - the night wouldn't have been complete without a technical glitch or two, plus a live "Andy" (or two!)

One thing we forgot to do last night was thank everyone involved in making the events happen - Courtney & Liam from BH Media for taking care of all the behind the scenes stuff, the SWG3 staff for security, tech help and manning the bar, the Five Star Sodas team for all their help, Jenny for her quiz writing help and of course to all of you for buying the tickets and making the event a success!

Hopefully this is the beginning of the return for more events and we'll see more of you out and about very soon!
