Strong turnout for credit union quiz night in Ballinagar

Tullamore Credit Union's Raise Your Voice community quiz night returned on Friday last, October 16, with 30 enthusiastic teams participating in an enjoyable evening of competition, community spirit and entertainment at Tom & Gerry’s Pub, Ballinagar.

Quizmaster Ger Scully hosted the event, challenging teams across eight rounds of ten questions, including a lively picture round that proved particularly popular with participants.

Caitriona Lawlor, member engagement controller at Tullamore Credit Union, welcomed attendees and introduced Paul Shaw, CEO, Caroline Collins Murphy, deputy CEO, and members of the board of directors.

Throughout the evening, credit union staff collected and tallied answer sheets, while board members assisted with marking, ensuring the quiz ran smoothly and efficiently.

The initial prize fund of €1,500, raised through team entry fees, was doubled by Tullamore Credit Union, bringing the total prize pot to an impressive €3,000.

During the prize presentation, Mary Droogan, Member of the Board of Directors, announced the winning teams and congratulated all participants on their efforts.

The first place prize, of €1,500 was won by Cappincur GAA. In second place (€900) was Mucklagh, Rahan & The Island Community Games, while Brookfield Rise Residents Association earned the third place prize (€600).

The atmosphere throughout the evening was filled with fun, friendly rivalry and a strong sense of community. Tullamore Credit Union extended its sincere thanks to everyone who participated and supported the event, helping to make the third Raise Your Voice Table Quiz another great success.

Further Raise Your Voice events are planned for early next year.
