On Saturday 18th November 2023, NQCC held our famous annual Trivia Night fundraiser, and as usual, it was a blast!

Nine teams converged on the Belgian Gardens Senior Citizens Welfare Association hall, with laughs at the ready and pockets full of cash.

The City Watch came prepared with their own printouts for their team sign. Thankfully, Malcolm wasn't this shy all night!

Is there a doctor in the house? Why yes! The Heart Starters also featured a bit of a heart stopper as their front man.

Quollity Surrounds - keen on puns AND cute marsupials! So are we. #WildlifeSurrounds

Let's Get Quizzical! If only they'd come dressed as Olivia Newton-John...

Some teams were here for the Trivia, some for the social outing... This team was Here for the $5 Beers!

K'gari - they wanted to be Ian Frazer's team, but thought the name should be brought in line with the times...

Tired but Wired. Yep - we know the feeling! 

The Orphans... can't wrangle a team? We'll make sure you have friends!

The Suppositories of Wisdom were keen to keep their place on the NQCC Trivia Plaque!

Eric and Angela were our bribe-takers for the evening, accepting cold hard cash in exchange for correct answers!

The questions were as tough as ever, thanks to our Quizmaster, David McMillan. This year's themes included Mountains (did you notice the hint on our flyer?), Protests, ARIA Hall of Famers and Physics. 

The money was in good hands, with Trivia volunteer and NQCC Treasurer Madde happily taking stock!

When the questions were through, it was time to draw the raffle! 

Chris took home a beautiful supply of Kissing Chickens Deodorant AND a Mary Who? Bookshop voucher!

David will be the coolest guy around (as if he wasn't already) with a voucher for an aircon clean from Cooler Cleaning!

Sophie took away a new high quality water bottle and coffee cup from Made by Fressko. Maybe she'll share with John. Maybe she won't.

We think Josh really loves his new Australian made reusable food containers by Replated, but when your wife is the photographer, attitude is a must.

Glenda was the envy of those of us with a sweet tooth, taking away a voucher for PB & J's Donuts!

Natalie wasn't at Trivia to accept her Lambert's Fresh Produce voucher, but was very happy to pose with a photo when it was delivered. 

After the raffle, the scoring was complete and the results were in! In one of our favourite traditions, the losing team (Tired but Wired, in this case) were gifted some sustainable loo rolls. They were surprisingly excited! Times really are tough...

The Suppository of Wisdom took out first place, adding generously to NQCC's coffers with those bribes and maintaining their winning streak on our newly refurbished Trivia plaque!
