Event #2: Calgary Kookaburra / The Downunder Club / Team Spring Fundraiser 21 March 2009
Carrying on from our successful Trivia Night last year, the Kookas joint forces with The Downunder Club and Team Srping (Australia's next Olympic Gold Medal hopeful) to hold the first major fundraising event for our club. Roger Kingkade from x92.9 was a great MC for the night and kept us in stiches the whole time. A big thankyou goes out to Jason Webb and Debbie Bennett from the Downunder club for their help in organising the event. Matt Page-Hanify kindly helped me with some of the questions. Diane Kingcaid and Ciara Lanigan kept the teams in line and the scores in check, Holly Greatwich, Sam Woodward, and Amanda O'Rae kept the food and beverages coming to the lively mob. Thanks to you all as the event couldn't have happened without you volunteering your time.
The event was a huge success all round with the Kookaburras raising around $1,200 from the night and Team Sping getting some assistance with the Silent 
Auction.
IDEE8 (which included our fearless leader Jake) took out the night in fine form with 84 points. Second was Slumdog Millionairs on 77 points closely followed by The Motley Crew finishing on 77. The Stunned Mullets may have come in last scorewise but cleaned up winning the lucky door prize and pub games!
Great Job Guys, Beck Jones - Trivia Night Organiser
