Trivia night raises funds for book packs for school kids

Recent stories

A massive 19 teams signed up for the Lions Club’s book themed Trivia Night at the Memo Club last Saturday night.

Contestants came dressed as their favourite book character for a fantastic night which was organised to raise funds to provide book packs for schools in the Barkly.

The packs contain a story book as well as props that are used to help tell the story and increase the interaction between the adult reader and the child or children listening.

There was certainly a diverse mix of characters making an appearance, from the Artful Dodger to Pippi Long-stocking.

At the end of the night, team “Consulting Room” came out the winners, but with just over $1,500 raised on the night, the real winners will be the kids who will be able to enjoy the stories the books will provide and feed their imaginations.
