INAGURAL FIFTH TUESDAY OF THE MONTH SOCIAL DINNER – TUESDAY 31st AUGUST

The Masters: (LtoR): John, Chris, Gary, Lyndel, Daniel, Natasha and Glenn D scooped the pool at the Trivia Night breaking an all time new record for the highest percentage of correct answers.

Last Tuesday evening a dozen of our members plus some guests gathered at the Concord RSL Bistro for our inaugural Social Dinner evening held on the fifth Tuesday of the month. The group included our Area Governor Pauline and our District Governor Phillip.

The Blue Flame Bistro turned on a typically generous and highly satisfying menu of great value.

What was unknown was that this evening was a regular Trivia Night at the RSL Club and our members joined in with gusto. We split into 2 teams – The Toasters and The Masters.

A series of 2 sessions of 12 questions had one of our teams (The Masters) making a very impressive stamp on these first, more generic questions. Now one could be a tad cynical here, but the third session of 10 questions are posed by a guest from the floor (in advance) and last night a male nurse structured some highly clinical questions to what appeared to be a room significantly full of various nursing staff from Concord Hospital.

However, ‘The Masters’ had a ‘secret weapon’ in the ’guise of Lyndel, a former nurse of considerable experience. (Knowing the 11 organs of the gastro intestinal track and what a Sphygmomanometer is was a big help).

With our significant lead from the first 24 questions under our belt, we blitzed the evening winning by a substantial margin and taking away the $40.00 Club Gift Voucher for our efforts. Something we should be planning to utilise in the near future.

An entertaining and somewhat challenging evening had by all.

A well attended inaugural Social Dinner. (LtoR): Philip, Lyndel, Brett, John, Chris, Gary, Daniel, Natasha, Pauline, Susan (a friend of Dai Fei), Dai Fei (hidden), Bernard and Glenn D.
