MUSIC superstars from across the globe (or at least their lookalikes) descended upon the Myall Coast for the annual Pindimar-Bundabah Community Association (PBCA) trivia night on Saturday 5 July.
While the wintry weather outside geared up for more rain and wind, inside the Pindimar Fire Shed were dozens of denizens, all decked out in reasonable facsimiles of their favourite musical groups.
The night featured a complete set of Spice Girls, a dozen or so Elton Johns, and even the Wiggles, all vying for coveted best-dressed prizes.
The night’s mellifluous melodies were spearheaded by the talents of the famous Doug Gillespie, as well as local guitarist Chad, interspersed with plenty of trivia questions to entice music memories from long ago and more recent times.
Best Dressed went to an eerily life-like Dolly Parton, while the runners-up for the trivia competition were the ‘Wizards of Quiz’ and the ‘Mundi Swingers’, the main award going to the Wood Street Wankers.
“Thank you to everyone who came to our PBCA Musical Trivia Night, and a big shout out to all the helpers, who always turn up when needed, you know who you are,” PBCA Secretary Kathy Jones said.
“Thanks to Doug Gillespie who always does a great job with the music, you’re a legend, and congratulations to all the winners of the night – we love our little community.”
The PBCA’s next major event is the Pindimar Markets Day on Saturday 25 October at the Pindimar Fire Shed.
The markets are free to attend, and will include gifts, second hand clothes, crafts, food, cakes, and emergency service stalls.
Adding to the entertainment will be live music, a thong throwing competition, a chocolate wheel, vintage car display, and a home brew competition.
Stalls can be booked via pbcassociation12@gmail.com.
