Quiz Night donations needed

The club quiz night is fast approaching and we are now at a stage where we are seeking donations for prizes and silent auction. If you have a business, have family or friends who have a business or would just like to contribute in any way we will gladly accept any donations to put towards the night. Last years quiz was a great success, raising approximately $3500, and we would like to make this years even better. With the redevelopment coming up in 2018 the club is needing to raise funds to put towards this venture and other projects in and around the club.

If you would like to contribute in the way of prizes, vouchers, goods or services or in any other way you can think of, please contact Carmel Kenny on 0402241841 or Dot Moffatt on 0407415008 or catch up with one of us around the club.
