THE A Team lived up to their name as they came out on top at endring Council chairman’s charity quiz.

A total of 28 teams took part in the fundraiser at the Princes Theatre in Clacton on Friday night.

Council chairman Val Guglielmi said it was great fun and everyone seemed to enjoy the event.

“I am really grateful to all those who came along and took part and it is a fantastic amount to raise for a very good cause,” she added.

The winning team was made up of present and past council officers, including Sarah Ford, Andy White, Ian Philipson, Richard Barrett, Aileen Middleton and Martyn Knappett.

They were presented with the shield by Mrs Guglielmi.
