BINGO!
What a night to remember! Our final fundraising event, a lively Bingo night held at the Tairua Rugby Club, was a huge success. With a fantastic turnout, the venue was filled with laughter, cheers, and a sea of creative island-themed costumes. Thank you to everyone who joined us in their best tropical get-up—it made the evening even more special!
A special shoutout goes to our generous sponsors, Haus Blank, Coromandel Hobbies, Get It On, Tairua Butchery, and SuperLiquor Tairua for supporting the night’s activities. Your contributions made the night possible and helped us get closer to our fundraising goal.
Another huge thank you to Anna Brice of Rebel Bloome for donating the stunning Deer Head, which became a highlight of the night’s auction. It drew in some hilarious bidding and went for an incredible $600! Your generosity made a big difference, Anna.
Our incredible MC, Rory Tope, kept the energy high and the crowd engaged throughout the night, making it a truly unforgettable experience. The fun was so contagious that the crowd begged for an extra round of Bingo!
The Best Dressed awards went to Laurie Baker and Amy, who stole the show with their creative outfits featuring coconuts, flax skirts, and birds of paradise. Their vibrant costumes brought the island vibes to life and added to the festive atmosphere.
A last minute extra added round at the end brought the excitement to a new level, thanks to Storms Contracting Limited and Get It On, who each donated a $100 voucher. This led to a thrilling showdown, with three lucky players tying for the win. In true island spirit, the tie was settled with a sudden-death game of rock-paper-scissors, adding a fun twist to the evening.
A heartfelt thank you to Tim Preston for his generous donation to our Rarotonga trip—it means so much to the team!
To everyone who came along, supported, and helped make this event a night to remember, thank you from the Tairua Senior Netball team. Your support means the world to us, and it’s because of you that we’re able to head off to Rarotonga with our heads held high. We appreciate each and every one of you! 🌺
Here’s to the next adventure—Rarotonga, here we come!
