The Christchurch Printing industry turned out in force recently for the Full Colour Trust Quiz Night.
BJ Ball sponsored the evening, which also received support from PrintNZ and many other print companies and suppliers in the Canterbury region. The Full Colour Trust raises funds to enable it to assist people from the local print and advertising industry when needed. The quiz night raised almost $2000 through entry fees and raffles. Many of the print companies and suppliers supplied prizes for the raffles.
Spectrum Print claimed first prize and bragging rights as top quizzers on the night.
Since its inception in 2006, the Full Colour Trust has assisted many people from the industry in Canterbury. It has raised funds through several functions organized by the trustees and PrintNZ. This includes the PrintNZ Charity Golf Day, where any profit is donated to the trust; Laser Strike evenings; Movie Nights and nights at the Court Theatre; as well as the successful quiz nights held annually.
The trustees include people from the industry plus an independent accountant. The trust does not have any overheads as it is all volunteer work, so all the funds raised are given back to people from the industry who apply for funding when no other funding is available.
The key function of the trust is to assist people to stay in work or to help them get back to work. The trust appreciates the assistance of suppliers and print companies in the area for support and assistance.
