Let’s get quizzical
The events listed above are all in addition to our trivia fundraiser.
Since announcing our intentions last week, tickets have started to shift. As a reminder, on Monday 7 September we’ll be taking over the second floor at Surry Hills’ Keg & Brew Hotel - hosting our very own trivia fundraiser, with all money raised going towards reducing the cost of our Christmas party.
To help us raise as much moolah as possible, we’re inviting our community (and their friends and family) to join us for our very own battle of wits. Expect fun, prizes, giveaways and good times!
On the night we’ll also be holding a raffle. So far we have secured some amazing prizes, and this week alone we added even more - now taking the total to over $1,800 in value.
Why are we fundraising?
We’re currently working on finding a suitable and cost effective venue for our Christmas party. Booking a hotel that will host over 100 attendees during the busy festive period is an expensive business.
Therefore, to assist with the unavoidable expenses, we’re hosting our first ever fundraiser - and we’re calling on the Gig Buddies’ community to support us.
How do I sign up?
Tickets to our trivia night cost $12 and places are limited. To secure your spot (and to find out more information about the event), load up the link below.
It’s time to get quiz your teams together!
Then there were two
That’s almost it! After a month that’s seen us take in trips to Pennant Hills, Coogee, Hawkesbury, Rhodes, Cronulla, Newport, Sydney CBD and Campbelltown, we’re down to our final two events.
Starting this Thursday (23/7), we invite buddies to join us in Guildford for pub trivia and dinner.
Then, this forthcoming weekend (26/7), we wrap things up for the month with a trip to Ourimbah on the Central Coast for a Christmas in July Sunday roast.
We’re down to the final few tickets for both events. To join us at either, load up the links below.
Please note, this Saturday’s visit to the markets in Kirribilli is now sold out.
All go in August
And as for August, we have 12 dates pencilled in the diary.
For the final month of winter we’re inviting buddies to join us in Zetland, Lisarow, Moore Park, Kogarah, Dee Why, Eveleigh, Turrella, Macquarie Park, Bankstown, Thornleigh, North Sydney and Penrith as we catch up for craft, trivia, AFL, NRL, dinners, live dance, paintball, ice hockey, UFC, mini golf, line dancing and the Penrith Show.
