Trivia Night 2009

2009 NFC TRIVIA NIGHT-A resounding success!!!

Our major fund raising event of the year has come and gone... and it was a huge night of fun and games!! Although a sponsor table had to pull out at the last minute due to the flu ripping apart their office the day before, there was still a healthy turn-out of 140+ that joined in the fun.

The NFC Committee would like to make special mention and thank the following;

-All players and partners/friends etc that came along and made the night what it was!

-Our major sponsor Ruiz Constructions for helping to make the night possible and for donating two very special bottles of family wine that hold due sentimental value!

-Other sponsors that came on the night including;

1800 TAP FIX ,

Cory McPherson from Richard Luton Properties (donated 3 bottles of Moet Chandon champagne and conducted a very professional auction),

Rowan Woodward and the gang from The Home Loan Centre who generously donated; not only x2 $100 shopping gift vouchers but also part of the Major Prize which was 12 Official Commemorative 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games relay batons! This was a huge prize and greatly appreciated by the winning team!

-Other sponsors that generously donated prizes on the night, without these greatly appreciated contributions, the night would not be the same;

Tony Romero from Legends Spanish Restaurant in Manuka (one of our club's best and longest time supporters) for donating not just one, but two fantastic dinner vouchers to the value of $175!!! Please note that Tony will soon be opening a special new Tapas and Wine Bar in Manuka, directly below Legends within the venue previously known as Minque.

Absolutely everyone for attending and helping to make the night a very successful event!!! Your support is really genuinely and greatly appreciated!!!

Special mention must also go to Alan McDonald from Macka's Griffith Newsagency. Alan arranged the newspaper giveaways and the hilarious round of questions from the Sydney Morning Herald that had team members furiously rummaging around through their newspapers for answers. Alan also generously donated his time in assisting the committee members by being chief judge and marker on the night. Thanks Alan!!!

Congratulations to the winning table.
