The Tasman Valley Young Farmers’ 2nd Annual Quiz Night was a great hit with a sold-out Moutere Community Centre raising much needed funds towards flood relief in the area.
120 contestants battled the quiz out over fun and challenging rounds including 2000s pop culture, world flags, and of course, farming-related questions.
Quiz-master Reuben Moore (aka “Dolly”) (see picture 2) was a crowd favourite, bringing humour and energy to the night — and even donning a corset gifted by an audience member at half-time!
The evening was a fantastic success, with the club raising $2503 which will be donated to Top of the South Rural Support Trust to go towards the flood relief, supporting recovery efforts following the recent flooding in the area.
“Thank you to everyone who attended, we look forward to this becoming a regular event in our calendar, although it looks like we may have to source a larger venue for next year!” Tasman Valley Young Farmers club member Amelia Marsden says.
“None of this would have been possible without our amazing sponsors. We would like to thank PGG Fruitfed, Tasman Pine Forests Ltd, BMTT, JS Ewers, Thomas Bros, Stihl, FMG, Talley’s, Everwild, Farmlands, Tracy Beer – Summit Real Estate, AgFirst, Anatoki Salmon, Town & Country Vets, and New Zealand Young Farmers.”
