Many thanks Mark, and Happy New Year to you too.
I have included the more formal details (including the start time!) below.
While prior registration is not compulsory Mark has previously asked that if you are intending to come but haven’t yet contacted him could you please let him know on
m("bigpond.com","chollop7");">
so he will have a reasonable idea of the likely numbers.
As many people are possibly still away (Canberra seems very quiet at the moment), I will re-post the announcement later in the week/early next week.
Once again many thanks for offering to run the COG Quiz Night on 10 January – it seems you are attracting plenty of interest and we are all looking forward to it.

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Quiz night
Good afternoon and Happy New Year Jack,
If you are going to put out a reminder about the quiz night could you also ask that
EVERYONE brings some sort of writing implement. I will have answer sheets for the 60+ questions I have organised. You can also add that bribing the judge (ME) will also be permitted (not to be published but any money raised will go to COG’s bird
research fund!!). I will also supply some “goodies” to be thrown at tables at suitable times e.g. small packets of potato chips, M and M s etc. I will have two of my banding team (Marion and Gil Pfitzner) to help mark the sheets after each round. Tables
will be allocated by drawing a coloured ring from a bowl or something similar– I have enough rings for 8 teams of 6 people each plus a few for backups if needed. I will reserve the right to split up any team that looks “too strong”. The prize will be knowing
that your team won on the night!!
I am pretty sure that this will be my last “COG Trivia Night” but you never know. I do have people giving me dodgy photos so maybe next year if you want me to do another one in January.
Any queries then please get back to me.
Cheers,
Mark
