Pit your wits to help mountain rescue team
C
CALLING all quiz whizzes – here’s your chance to help Kerry Mountain Rescue Team. Elite Event Management and Quest Adventure Race Series are hosting a table quiz to raise much-needed funds for the dedicated voluntary group at 8pm this Wednesday coming, November 29, in the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Kerry Mountain Rescue Team provides a vital service and operates 365 days of the year. “The quiz is being organised to help give something back,” said Quest director Oliver Kirwan. “We are so fortunate to have such an excellent service in Kerry where individuals put their own health and safety on the line to protect others. A lot of our participants spend a lot of time on the hills and mountains in Kerry and it’s great that they can do so safe in the knowledge that if they run into trouble, someone will be there to help them. I would encourage everyone to get a team together and come along on Wednesday night for a good cause and to have some fun. It’s also a great opportunity to bring together some of the adventure racing community out of season so we’re hoping to see some familiar faces too.”
There will be some great prizes up for grabs on the night with finger food being provided for everyone taking part. The entry fee is €40 for a team of four people and all proceeds will go to Kerry Mountain Rescue Team.
