Good morning COG/Canberra Birds members and chat line subscribers, a reminder that
COG/Canberra Birds will be having a Quiz Night with Mark Clayton as Quiz Master from 7:30 pm this Wednesday evening 14 January.
Everyone is welcome. Full details of the night are below.
While prior registration is not compulsory if you are intending to come but haven’t yet contacted Mark you might like to let him know on
so he will have a reasonable idea of the likely numbers.
Could
EVERYONE please bring some sort of writing implement? As usual 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 your team won on the night!!
Once again, many thanks to Mark for offering to run another Quiz Night – we are looking forward to seeing you there to take advantage of the first opportunity for members and
quests to get together in 2026.
