We arrived and already there were plenty of people there having some food and chatting in groups. I introduced myself to Cary Young, the club president and he was very welcoming and friendly.
We got a couple of drinks and then chatted with a nice couple, Erika and Graeme. Amusingly, it turned out that Graemeis Scottish and moved to NZ a while back. Erika was quiz mistress of the night so we found ourselves a team and tried to answer some questions.
I was pretty happy that my studying had paid off and I was able to answer some questions and Kane was happy that he remembered the name of the explorer John Cabot and got 10 points for that bonus question. In the end our team came third and we won a goody bag from Marthas Backyard and an awesome trophy.
Kane and Graeme swapped numbers and everyone seemed fun so I hope to go to another of their events at some point in the future. Good times :)
