Trivia night receives big show of support 

The CQUniversity community put their thinking caps on for a night of trivia at the Mackay campus recently, to support the Mackay Student Social Club and the Mackay Library Society.

Around 60 students, staff and community members took part in the trivia, with some baffling questions thrown in for good measure - thanks to Academic Learning Centre lecturer Frank Armstrong.

The winning team, Liquorice Allsorts, was made up of students, staff and Library Society members.

Organiser Kati Norman (part-time student and Library staff member) and Elliot Jennings (student and President of the Student Social Club) said the event came together thanks to the support of those involved.

They thanked the Library Society members for assisting to set up the venue, donating prizes and supplying food. Michelle Whiley from the Student Association also enabled the organisers to use the Refectory and took photographs on the night.

Kati said plans are underway for a bigger and better Trivia Night in Term 2.
