so he will have a reasonable idea of the likely numbers.
Could
EVERYONE please bring some sort of writing implement. Mark will have two of his 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. Mark will reserve the right to split up any team that looks “too strong”. The prize will be knowing that

There will be Range of Questions to encourage participation from all levels of bird knowledge.
At the door there will a Draw for Seats at the Tables.
Prior registration is not required but it would be helpful if you could let Mark know on

If participants want to do some homework Mark suggests that they have a
GOOD look through the abridged version of the Australian Bird Guide - the smaller orange covered book as some, but not all, of the answers will be found there. As usual he will have 50 questions covering a selection of weird and whacky topics.
