SFF Pub Quiz SQUARE FOOD FOUNDATION ‘PUB QUIZ’ Thank you for suppor>ng Square Food Founda>on by doing our ‘Pub Quiz’! We have put together this quiz to be done with friends, family, colleagues, strangers… anyone you like! It’s a tried and tested set of quesCons and format but if you have beDer ideas please go ahead and use them! How does the quiz work? This quiz can be delivered face-to-face (where and when appropriate!), or via WhatsApp, Zoom or other video plaKorms. Teams write down their answers rather than shout them out. At the end you give them the answers, they add up their scores and everyone celebrates the winners! If you choose to do it via WhatsApp, just create a group and send each quesCon 1-2 minutes aPer the other, and also give people Cme between rounds (it’s quite good to have a 10 minute ‘comfort break’ aPer round 2). At the end, send the answers to the group in batches of rounds. Each team adds up their own score and sends you the total in a direct message to you (not to the group). You announce the winners to the group, everyone celebrates! How does it raise money for Square Food Founda>on? A voluntary quiz entry fee can be made to our Local Giving Page: hDps://localgiving.org/charity/squarefoodfoundaCon/project/fillingthegap/ Share this link with parCcipants before the quiz starts (it’s also a good idea to share it during the break and at the end!).

Introduction Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (McNamara, 2009; Ferri, 2010; Lawler, 2010) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity, which Turner (2010) discusses at length. The concept that celebrity is a ‘cultural formation that has a social function’ (Turner, 2010:11), and the contemporary significance of celebrity itself remains a key topic for debate (Couldry and Markham, 2007). Celebrities are considered as role models for millions of people, especially younger citizens (Couldry and Markham, 2007), who are the focus of this study. Pringle (2004:3) suggests that ‘celebrity sells’, and outlines the extent to which society becomes influenced by these figures due to their prevalence in everyday life. Becoming well-known public figures, where they have adversaries as well as fans (Henderson, 2011) celebrities have attracted significant literature, which is split on their benefit and detriment to society (Couldry and Markham, 2007).

  • The Cream of the Culinary World Unite to Make a Difference Submitted By: Accent Press Monday, 23 May 2005
    The Cream of the Culinary World Unite To Make A Difference Submitted by: Accent Press Monday, 23 May 2005 Accent Press Ltd are delighted to announce the publication of East meets West EAST MEETS WEST is a celebrity cookbook in support of the tsunami victims in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Featuring recipes by the cream of the international culinary world and articles by top wine writers including; Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, Gary Rhodes, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Keith Floyd, Ainsley Harriot, Rick Stein, Antony Worral Thompson, Ken Hom and Jancis Robinson. EAST MEETS WEST developed from the reaction of two ordinary British women, Barbara Jayson and Jenny de Montfort to the shocking Boxing Day disaster. Having met several years ago in Indonesia they knew they had to do something and decided to create a truly international cookbook to raise funds for mother and baby charities in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Without knowing a single celebrity chef they set about contacting potential contributors and, having received a commitment from Nigella Lawson, the project snowballed. The book is a superb quality, full-colour, 256 page hardback priced £14.99, fully illustrated throughout and is sure to be the biggest cookbook of 2005. Over 9,000 copies have been sold in the first week with a third of these going to overseas distributors. Within a day of publication an enquiry for 15,000 copies was received from one of the main UK book clubs. All main High Street retailers are stocking the book which is also available via Amazon. EAST MEETS WEST is published by Accent Press, an independent publishing company based in Wales.
