After days of what seemed like dancing to a verse of Lannigan's Ball (people stepping in and stepping out again), we had 15 teams take part in the pub quiz last Thursday night at The Shebeen, at the back of the Irish Heather in Gastown. Tara Burke-Brutus, the woman who spearheaded the quiz night, along with Aoife Brennan and Eilis Courtney were the quiz coordinators and did a fantastic job making sure everybody was behaving and not cheating ;-) The questions were set by Ita Kane-Wilson (me!) and while she thought the questions were fair, most people found them very challenging! (I'll go easy next time round!) There were tonnes of door and raffle prizes and our thanks go to The Shebeen for giving us the use of their space, Toybox on Broadway for the games, The Chor Leoni Men's Choir, The Vancouver Bach Choir and the Elektra Women's Choir for their very kind donation of tickets to see their wonderful Christmas choral celebrations, The Irish Heritage Society, Keith Henderson etc. It was a very lively, entertaining night with lots of laughter and a chance for people to meet new friends as well as raise money for the Irish Women's Network, TASO Uganda and ACIO.

Ita - congrats to you, Tara, Eilis, Aoife and everyone else that made it such a great night! There must be another one and hopefully I'll be able to make it!
