One thousand,
five hundred and fifty six teams played 'Test The County' on Thursday
21st October 2004, and it was all in aid of the BBC Radio Devon Chestnut
Appeal
The winning team was "Chips Off the Old Block" from Barnstaple
and incredibly, last years runners-up "Arborial Evergreens",
finished in the same position!
The winning team name went to "Abba" (Appledore's Building
Boats Again).

of £23,656
The grand total of the BBC Radio Devon Chestnut Appeal now stands

Test the County II was a follow-up to last year's fundraising event
which raised more than £22,000 for BBC Radio Devon's adopted charity.
On air on Thursday 21st October, celebrity question master Judi Spiers
fired off 10 rounds of general knowledge questions live on BBC Radio
Devon.
If you missed the fun, or just want another look, you can take a look
at the questions right here:
Presenters from BBC Radio Devon travelled the length and breadth of
the county to report on the progress of quiz teams playing in pubs,
clubs, churches, community halls, workplaces and at home.
What to do next:
Don't forget to send your answer sheets back to us to be in with a
chance to win a bumper pack of CDs, DVDs and books.
Whatever your score, even if you failed miserably, there's still a
chance for you to shine in our grand draw.
And if you've taken part in the quiz but haven't yet sent in your
entry fee, please send a cheque for £5 made payable to 'Chestnut Appeal'.

The
quiz is a major fundraising event for the BBC Radio Devon Chestnut
Appeal.
The appeal aims to raise £1m towards the development of a testing
and treatment centre for Prostate Cancer to serve the whole county.
Last
year's quiz raised £22,000 for the Chestnut Appeal and was one
of BBC Radio Devon's programming highlights.
The current total of the BBC Radio Devon Chestnut Appeal now stands
at almost £900,000.
Thank you for your wonderful generosity and support for this very
worthwhile appeal.
