employees worked to organise a quiz night and a raffle at the Kings Arms in Stoborough, which attracted 12 teams in total and was won by 'Peter and the Geeks', reports the Dorset Newsroom.<\/p>\n<p>Several companies, including The Rex Cinema, Monkey World, Sainsbury's and South West Trains, all donated great prizes to ensure the raffle was as attractive as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Mackenzie, chief executive of Purbeck District Council, said: &quot;The evening was a huge success and I am extremely grateful to the staff that organised the event and everyone who attended.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the quiz was extremely closely fought, ensuring there was plenty of drama surrounding who would take the first prize.<\/p>\n<p>Lida Mutton, one of those who organised the event, added Help for Heroes is close to her heart so she is delighted the evening was such a success.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801695504-ADNFCR\"
