GK YGAT Trivia Night By GKOM Australia News Bureau Date Posted: November 01, 2007 On Saturday 4 August, the GK Trivia Nite was held at St Patrick’s Cathedral Hall Parramatta. The event was organised to assist GK YGAT volunteers with raising funds for their upcoming mission trip to the Philippines in January/February 2008. The hall was filled to capacity, full of excitement and dare I say a slight hint of competitiveness as well. Who says raising money for a good cause can’t involve a bit of healthy competition and rivalry! Before the nitty gritty question time commenced, each team devised an original and creative team name and settled into their seats. The question rounds ranged from sport to entertainment, to science and general knowledge, and even a spelling round! A hark back to primary school days for most. Throughout the night, lucky door prizes donated by a number of generous supporters of GK, were auctioned off by the trivia hosts. The auctions proved popular and generated the most rowdiness amongst participants. I have never seen anyone bid that much for a box of Spanish bread before! The needs of all were truly catered for as there was even a GK Café on premises, where people could place orders for a deliciously brewed hot chocolate or mocha. All-in-all the night was a great success and from the level of noise generated, I can safely say it was thoroughly enjoyable as well. Congratulations to ‘Wooden Spoon’ who took out the trivia night. A big thank you to all the volunteers from GK Youth who acted as MC’s or as runners, collecting score cards and tallying points on the ever-closely monitored scoreboard. Also, thankyou to Joy Lopez and her team of baristas working behind the scenes at the GK Café. > > > BACK TO WHAT'S NEWS?
