TENANTS of Boston Mayflower have been busy collecting prizes after achieving success in a wartime-themed quiz run by the housing association.
A total of seven people received prizes -
four third prize winners, two in second place, and one in first place.
The overall winner was Pamela Parsons, 71, of Dudley Close, who scooped a photo frame and radio alarm clock. Other winners got photo frames and clocks.
Mrs Parsons said: "Mayflower's Wartime Quiz featured general knowledge questions from the period of history around the Second World War.
"Prior to the quiz a book was passed around tenants featuring the history of those years in and around Boston.
"I read it and really enjoyed it. The book was very interesting, and the knowledge I gained helped me tackle the quiz and some of that knowledge was needed as I was only two when the Second World
War started!"
Boston Mayflower's Interim Chief Executive John Lavin presented prizes to all the winners at Boston's Fenside Manor.
The housing association had hosted daily Wartime Road Show events at its sheltered housing units at the end of May, during which time the quiz took place.
All proceeds went to the Butterfly Hospice Trust charity.
