Trivia evening raises $2000

The Pearl Beach Progress Association hosted 100 people at a fundraising trivia evening on Saturday, August 24, in the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.

The night raised $2000 toward new equipment for the volunteer Pearl Beach Rural Fire Brigade.

The brigade recently acquired a new troop carrier but needed to replace a number of old and outdated pieces of equipment.

Pearl Beach Brigade president Mr Don McVean accepted the cheque from Pearl Beach Progress Association president Mr Roger Murray.

He said the brigade would use it to purchase a new nozzle for its troop carrier.

"Even though our table didn't collect any prizes, we certainly had fun trying to solve the trivia questions," said Mr McVean.

Mr Murray thanked the volunteer brigade for its dedication and, at times often dangerous work, protecting lives and property.
