Updated: WMS Quiz Night held on 30 May

A BIG thank you to everyone who supported the Quiz Night fundraiser on 30 May. The quiz was ably led by Quiz Master Ross (our Treasurer) with help from his trusty assistant (and new WMS President) Steve, and it was a blast!

Even better, your generosity helped us to raise an amazing $847 to help support the vital service we provide to PwMS around the greater Wellington region!

It was no surprise the super-clever Bio-Med Masters students from Victoria University took out first-prize.

A special thanks to Speight's Alehouse for hosting the event and all the organisations who donated the amazing prizes including Speight's Petone, PaknSave Petone, Mitre10 Petone, Joss McCool and Shott Beverages, Whittaker's Chocolate, Anne and Alan Woodside, Jocelyn Fagerstrom and Jo Dean.

Thanks also to our many special guests, including WMS Patron Anne La Flamme and Dr Katharina Robichon, Past-WMS-Presidents Maxine Harland and Hamish Bockett-Smith, MS Awareness Round Quiz Master Mike Hanley and everyone who came along.

Here are a few photos from the night.

There were a great crowd for the quiz. The event sold out of tickets

The Quiz Night was a great way to spend a cool wintery evening

Thanks to prize sponsors for the great prizes. Lots of people went home with a prize

We know that a few gremlins crept in too, including the parking in Petone that night. Feel free to email suzanne@mswellington.org.nz with any feedback you would like to add into the mix.

A few of us are keen to 'research' some other greater Wellington venues that host pub quiz fundraisers for organisations like WMS, with a view to hosting another one. Let us know if you've got any venue or prize sponsor suggestions or want to be added to the WMS database. If you are already on our email list you can also click here if you're keen to come along and help with our Pub Quiz research.
