ASC TRIVIA NIGHT

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the club at our annual Trivia Night. We had a full house, with 72 guests in attendance, including ASC and APYC members, families and friends.

The competition was fierce and the laughter plentiful! Despite ‘Dance and Dazzle’ (Bettina’s Crew) vying for their third consecutive win, it was ‘Team Smartacus’ (Janine, Greg, Tony S, Liz, Cindy, Tony M, Trevor and Lisa) who held the victor’s trophy aloft at the end of the night, with Laser Plus (Rod’s team) finishing a close second.

Special thanks to our Quiz Master John, who kept the crowd on their toes and entertained and to our helpers, Gai, Rowley, Steve M, Bettina, Tony M, Lesley and Lisa, whose hard work ensured the night was enjoyed by all.
