Feel free to caption what you think Terry might be up to.

QUIZ NIGHT

A BIG THANKS to all who attended, supported, donated, bought raffles, bought daffodils and so on.
A special thanks to Terry and his 'A' Team who did the bulk of the work before and during the very well run event.
We had a very good turn out to the dinner at The NP Club and we received very positive feedback from the bar/restaurant staff regarding our group.
Well done everyone for behaving! It was a large group and the Club managed the meals very efficiently.
The quiz itself ran smoothly and we were all winners on the night.
Special congratulations to team "FA" who were the overall winners in the end.
Special commiserations to the last team who were provided with some brain food to help them along next time.
As a result of everyone's efforts, NPJW Club was able to hand over $730.30 to TARANAKI CANCER SOCIETY.

Again, thanks to our sponsors

Andy took us on a 5k plus adventure around Oakura this morning.
Despite the terrible wind in town, it was calm and clear at Oakura.
We had a very pleasant hour walk, and yes, definitely some up, some down, and plenty of steps, followed by excellent coffee and company at The Bach.
Thanks Andy!
