church provided venue, and organisation.
This was to be held across the country on
12 September but the Covid Lockdown
prevented that happening.
The Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church
decided to go ahead with the quiz since
it is a great cause (the Tear Fund is
working to get farmers in Sri Lanka out
of extreme poverty) and like to support
community events. So the quiz went
ahead on Sunday 8 November.
The organiser, Glen Stanton, received
wonderful support in terms of prizes
from the following local businesses to
whom we say a big thank you;
The Hair Dresser; Montrose

It was a fun night enjoyed by all and
$600 was raised for the Tear Fund.
