A QUIZ night has helped raise £650 towards the restoration of a steam tug.
The Steam Tug Brent Trust hosted the quiz night at Maldon Town Hall last week.
Quizmaster for the night was councillor Mark Heard.
Janet Hall, Chairman, Steam Tug Brent Trust, said: "The Big Brent Fun Quiz was very well supported and proved to be a very enjoyable evening. "The event was attended by 100 people making a total of sixteen competing teams.
"In time for the interval a hundred portions of fish and chips were delivered and soon eaten in the break, so that the quiz could continue.
"A couple of nautical rounds were included in the quiz to make the Brent crew feel at home."
A raffle helped towards the total of £650.
