Dear Friends of the Old Bega Hospital

Trivia Night 2024 – Come on down!

The 2024 Friends of the Old Bega Hospital Trivia Night is on Saturday 6 April 2024 at the Bega Country Club, Tarraganda. That's the night the clocks change at the end of daylight saving, so you get an extra hour to recover!

Trivia night is one of the three major fundraisers that Friends of the Old Bega Hospital has each year with all the proceeds going towards the Old Bega Hospital fitout.

The Trivia Night cost is $10 per person (pay at the door) and there are tables of eight. If you want to come as a couple or by yourself or with smaller group that's fine too and you can join a table with others to make up the eight. Bring your own nibbles, bake a cake for the Cake Auction and put in a bid on the night to take a cake home with you. There are lucky door prizes and spot prizes throughout the night. Drinks etc at the bar.

The quiz questions will be drawn from Rhonda Jones' huge collection and will cover a wide range of topics for all ages (clue: mixed teams help!). The effervescing Tinkerbelle will ensure all Trivia Teams play fairly and accept the final result with good grace. A silent cake auction will be a feature of the evening.

Questions, brilliant ideas, want to help? Email Val, froglittle@bigpond.com.

Bookings: email Claire, clairelupton@bigpond.com.

Restoration

The restoration continues well: on time, on budget and no disasters. Excellent team from Leser Build, and all the preparatory work done by Design 5 Architects is paying off.

Leser Build has compiled a time lapse video using footage from their site cameras: OBH Feb 24 Time Lapse.mp4. Better yet, pop out and have a look at the real thing!

History

The Carp Street Stall will also be the place to provide Friends with any stories you or someone you know have about the night and aftermath of the 2004 fire. Friends are collecting these stories as part of their Memories of the Fire Project.

All sorts of activities already happen at the Old Bega Hospital, and there’s plenty of scope to join in.
