A fun evening was had by all who attended a Quiz Night in support of Tearfund at the Presbyterian Church Hall last month.
Seven teams competed against each other with questions covering Current Affairs, Brands, Geography, Music, Movies, History, Sport and Useless Facts. There was a lot of laughter, head- scratching and learning.
There was great support from local businesses for prizes and silent auction items. These included gift vouchers, gift baskets, tickets to events and other items. Attendees were advised of those who had donated prizes and silent auction items, and there was a plug
for using local businesses. Letters of appreciation have gone out to those who donated prizes and silent auction items. Over 50 people attended, and $650 was raised.
First Prize went to ‘The Laughter Club’; Second Prize to ‘The Norfolk’s’; and Third Prize to ‘MandV’.
There were also prizes for the oldest and youngest participants.
Youngest winner: Amara Shinde with mother, Aishu and father, Pragnesh
Oldest winner: Maureen Christensen

Mr Santa Claus himself will be visiting Mairangi Bay Village in a very special way! Reminiscing back to 1935 when the first Christmas Festival
was held in the Bay, his arrival will be via a joint cavalcade of vintage cars and local community vehicles.
The parade will depart Outram Hall in Murrays Bay at 10am, travel along Beach Road to Mairangi Bay - or Little Murrays Bay as it was called back in 1935 – travel through the village and turn right at the round about into Ramsgate Terrace and up to Mairangi Bay Park.
In keeping with the Vintage theme there will be old- fashioned games such as Sack Races, Gumboot Throwing, Potato & Spoon Races and Wheelbarrow Races. There will be a choice of food for sale and entertainment on stage until midday. The main street of the Village will be packed with entertainment, so come and enjoy music, shopping, coffee and lunch while the kids are entertained.
And don’t forget – it’s a Vintage theme so feel free to dress the part!
