A TELEVISION writer will be hosting a fundraising quiz night in Fairford Town FC's clubhouse on March 12.

Paul Cornell, a Fairford resident, has written for television dramas including Doctor Who, Elementary, Casualty and Coronation Street, as well as having many novels and comics to his name.

The proceeds from the event, to take place at 7.30pm, will go towards the club's chosen charity for last season, The League of Friends of Fairford Hospital.

7a Coffee Shop will supply the event with their award-winning brownies, while a one-course hot meal will also be served.

Tickets cost £10 per person and teams can be up to eight people.

Call Graham Hewitt on 01285 851022 for more information.
