A cause for the Quizmaster

The Quizmaster and his apprentice
Chappy's Spiritual Music Quest Fest event held last Saturday was on  the same day as the Kings coronation.

There are no prizes for guessing who had the most fun! 

For the past 11 years Mission Beach Cassowaries Inc has been the grateful recipient of the private fundraiser held  in the grounds of  Baden (Chappy) and Angela Chapman's home at Mission Beach.

Known affectionately  as 'Chappy' of  Happy Chappy's Lawnmowing service, Baden transforms  into his colourful 'Quizmaster'  character for the day to entertain  guests  with questions  on 70's and 80's rock music. 

The quest fest is interspersed with other fundraising activities including  guessing  the number of bottle tops, air guitar competition  and raffles. Some of the regular contestants travel  from as far as Adelaide and Charters Towers each year  to take part in the fast paced, fun afternoon  event.

"Extroverts make my job easier


​
Guests participation is encouraged. This year there was no shortage of entertainment.  
 

​"Extroverts make my job easier" Chappy said.

​Light showers couldn't dampen the enthusiasm.  Local business owner Dawn was the clear winner in the  air guitar competition while Charters Towers Zoey Marshall and Mission Beach councillor Trudy Tschui were irrepressible showing off their miming skills to 'Wuthering Heights' by  Kate Bush and  Sherbets How's That' soundtracks.

Chappy's grandson Dan Marshall (Zoey's son) is now being  dubbed the 'apprentice quizmaster'.  Is he destined for a future on the stage? 
                                               Quizmaster's apprentice - Dan                                                                                          No-one got the answer?                                
​Mission Beach Cassowaries (MBC) president Liz Gallie would like to extend a  huge thank you to all those who made the afternoon such a special event.

"The funds raised through Chappy and Angela's generosity go toward projects to help  protect the cassowary at Mission Beach" said Liz. 


​The 2024 event will be held on the 24th August.  Table numbers are limited so if you know your 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music, and would like to be part of the next music quiz fest  call or email Chappy to find out more.  0418 898 940
