Do you see yourself as a quiz-night king or queen? Here’s your chance to join other members of the community for some fun at the second West Leeds Dispatch Community Quiz Night!
There’ll be some great prizes and a light supper, too.
All monies raised will help us to continue to fund community journalism in West Leeds.
Join us on Wednesday, 22 May 2019 at The Abbey Inn, Pollard Lane, Newlay LS13. The quiz starts at 8pm.
The event is being held in conjunction with the Newlay and Whitecote Residents’ Association Community meeting, which starts slightly earlier at 7.30pm. WLD editor John Baron will be discussing community reporting and how to get involved.
Entrance is £1 per person with a maximum of four in a team.
Quiz mistress is WLD community reporter and board member Jill Stocks. All welcome!

While you’re here…
Producing your daily dose of West Leeds Dispatch comes at a cost!
There’s the hosting of the website you’re reading now, running our popular e-mail newsletter, membership of independent press regulator Impress, attending summer events, paying for equipment etc etc.
We need at least £200 a month just to break even – that’s money currently coming out of the pockets of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about what’s happening in our communities, connecting you with local groups and organisations as well as holding decision-makers to account and championing local issues.
And all that’s BEFORE we even think about paying something for people’s time – for instance, our editor puts in more than 24 hours a week in his ‘spare’ time to ensure The Dispatch publishes daily.
To put it bluntly, after nearly four years of daily publishing, we are not sustainable!
And we need YOUR help to continue …
For the cost of less than a couple of cups of coffee you can help support local community news and continue to give our communities a voice by taking out a subscription for just £4 per month (that’s just a pound a week).
As a thanks you’ll get your name on a roll of honour on our website. More importantly you will be enabling us to keep bringing you the news that matters about your neighbourhood.
Achieving a bedrock of supporters will give us a firm financial footing and help us plan for the future.
