Trivia Quiz Night:  from The Ladies? Charity Committee:

It was a night to exercise the brain and have loads of fun at last Friday?s Trivia Night attended by more than 100 members and friends.  Our compare with the wonderful lilting accent, Eddie McGrory tested our skills in General Knowledge, News, Sport, Entertainment, Australia and Music. There were also some local knowledge questions that turned out to be more difficult than they first appeared!  The competition between the tables was tough with a different team taking the lead after each round.  The final winner was Chris Moss? table taking home the wonderful prize of Twilight Golf and BBQ for 8, kindly donated by KGC.  The Trivia Night was organized by the Ladies? Charity Committee as part of this year?s commitment to raise funds for Bowel Cancer Australia. This follows our Garden Day and Charity Golf Day held earlier this year.  The Trivia night has so far raised approximately $2,000 with more than $1,000 still to come.  Thank you to everyone who attended the night, it was a great way to help a good cause and have a great night out.  Thank you also to Maggie Coggans for all the hard work she put into this night to make it such a great success.
