Code 1 Trivia night

Friday night (19th Nov) saw the inaugural Code 1 Trivia night take place at Goornong. The night is organised by the brigade to support the Cystic Fibrosis Support Group. This group provides support and assistance to families with children suffering from cystic fibrosis inn the Bendigo region. (More information can be obtained at http://www.cysticfibrosisaustralia.org.au/ )


Around 80 people participate in the night from a variety of locations and back grounds with a meal provide by the local hotel. Our organisers were overwhelmed by the generosity of sponsors as well as the interest shown in attending the night. To all those who missed out I have been assured the event will return bigger and better next year. The overall winners for the night were the Goanna’s team whose name will now go down for posterity on the Code 1 Trivia night trophy. Whilst the final tally for the funds raised is still being tallied it seems we will have in excess of $1000.00 for the support group and their activities. A fantastic result and a real credit to Denis and Peter from the brigade, whose brain child this was and who ran with the initiative. And many thanks to those who supported and participated in the night. Anyone who would like to assist the support group please contact the brigade and we will give you the contact details. And a big thanks goes to Teisha and Kate who ran the Kids corner for the night.

Finally thanks to our sponsors who assisted us with making the night a success.
