again enjoy this very different, very enjoyable social event. The many

humorous photos beamed onto large screens accompanying each

trivia question, the relaxed, social environment and of course the fact

that you’re supporting ROMAC, a Rotary project run by volunteer

Rotarians throughout Australia and New Zealand that changes and

saves underprivileged children’s lives, makes this entertaining night

out a winner.

Please join us and once again enjoy a fun night of trivia. Speaking of which, this year you could easily win and show everyone that yours is the smartest Rotary Club around! But

only if you’re smart enough to accept this light-hearted challenge and bring your partners,

friends and potential new members to the friendliest, most fun trivia night out you’ve had! Date: 4:30 for 5:00pm start, Sunday 25th September 2016.

Venue: Bomaderry Bowling Club, 154 Meroo Rd, Bomaderry.
