it&#8217;s only their second try at running the popular event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The P&amp;C took over Reef&#8217;n&#8217;Beef in 2023, shifting the fundraising night from Ironpot Hall to the undercover sports area at the Coolabunia School.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The area was packed with 190 diners, waiting expectantly as the food was prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Local singer Amber Goldsmith provided the live music accompaniment to the meals, and the volunteers at the bar were kept busy serving up a range of drinks.<\/p>\n<p>P&amp;C treasurer Brooke McAleese said the night had been &#8220;massive&#8221;, and although not all the invoices were in yet, she believed more money had been raised than last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a great success,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Funds from the P&amp;C&#8217;s first Reef&#8217;n&#8217;Beef went towards Stage 1 of the school&#8217;s new playground, which was installed over the Christmas holidays break.<\/p>\n<p>The money raised at the latest event will be put towards Stage 2 of the playground upgrade.<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_344755\"
