Trivia Night - Fundraiser for trip to Newks, Texas in September 2025
About this event
Join us for a great family social event and fundraising trivia night.
All proceeds from the night will be used to reduce the costs of travel for a group of 12 young tennis players travelling to the John Newcombe Tennis Academy to train for two weeks in September this year. These players and their trip supervisors come from all around Melbourne.
It's an all inclusive night, and you won't have to put your hand in your pocket for anything else on the night except drinks from the bar (wine by the glass or bottle, selection of beers and soft drinks). We currently have limited stocks of some great wine available that can be pre-ordered. Depending on demand we will source some other good offers and some white wine too.
Your registration fee includes:
- BBQ at the start of the evening (soft drinks, wine and beer available at tennis club bar prices)
- A platter of sweets per table and tea and coffee
- Being part of a team for the trivia competition
- Prizes for members of the winning team
- Participation in all the activities with extra prizes on offer
- A ticket to the raffle on the night to win a great prize/prizes
- A sweep ticket with a male and female player for the French Open with prizes for the winner and runner up for the male and female draws.
Register as an individual (adults $50 and juniors (aged 13 and under) $35), or as a table of 8 and get a table discount of $50. Either way, make sure you have a great team name for your table and let us know who you want to sit with, or whether you are happy for us to put you on a table with others. Need a table name? No problem. For an extra $10 donation, you can buy one of the table names available when you purchase your tickets.
Come along to pit your wits against the other tables, test your general knowledge, arts and entertainment and sports trivia, and be in the running to share the spoils from the winning table prize hamper.
