In 2011 Stroud Life editor Jason Chare challenged Stroud MP Neil Carmichael to a biscuit ‘dunk off’, to support the Meningitis Trust in their 25th anniversary year and to encourage everyone to organise one of their own. To help raise funds, there was a £30 wager of their own money on the result, with the loser giving every penny of the bet to the Meningitis Trust.
