CONCORD WEST TOASTMASTERS CLUB – 29th APRIL 2025 – 5th TUESDAY SOCIAL

SOCIAL – TRIVIA NIGHT

A small group of Members met at The Concord to enjoy a meal together and then engaged in a well run Trivia Night coordinated by new recruit, but experienced Toastmaster Peter K.

Some very challenging questions imparting some amazing facts and knowledge but overall a very enjoyable evening.

The Trivia Champions for the evening were; Mario in first, Matthew in second and John coming third.


We are really enjoying having a home-base where we can gather for such occasions now that we are 'back' at our ancestral home in such a pleasant environment.
