Trivia night last Friday night was as great a success as we could have hoped.
Things kicked off promptly at 6.00pm with the BBQ firing up and the sizzled sausages flying off the grill. Teams then made their way inside, many of them packing their own drinks and portable feasts.
Keil Jones, captain of the Mobrarians, faced a brief interrogation by the press in the form of a Channel 7 news cameraman, then introduced the evening and the rules. Thereafter, yours truly quiz-mastered, while the lovely Amelia Jones tracked how everyone was doing on the journey to the all-important main prize.
Everyone had a great time, though cries were heard that the questions were a little too hard — just the challenge we promised! A veritable swag of prizes were handed out. In the end, the grand winners were the Front Row Team, led by CityLibraries Executive Manager Susan Coker – who promptly (and very generously) handed some of the best prizes back to be give out again!
As soon as we can we’ll post a few photographs here, so everyone can see the spirit of the evening for themselves.
In the end, we raised over $1000 for Movember and, through the event itself, and the Channel 7 news piece, raised a little awareness for men’s health. Our thanks to the sponsors who donated our prizes, and to our colleagues who gave so much of their time and support, cannot be overstated.
