Forbes View Club held a Trivia Night on 9 May to raise funds for the Smith Family who support students through their Learning for Life Education Programs.

These programs empower students living with disadvantage to succeed as they enter the workforce.

There are 270 VIEW Clubs around Australia assisting the Smith Family to support 1,800 students.

Forbes View Club sponsors nine of these students. It costs approximately $600 to support a primary age student and up to approximately $1,400 for a Tertiary student.

Trivia nights are one of our fundraising events to be able to help sponsor these students.

The night was very successful with nearly 100 guests attending and raising over $1,100.

Trivia-goers answered questions on a range of topics Australian geography, famous people, geology and fossils, fairytales, biology, physiology, chemistry, music, condiments, food, sport and generally the universe.

All had a great social time as well, catching up with friends and family.

Thank you to all who supported our fundraising efforts and for making it such a successful night.

A special thank you to Taylor Hodges-Lockwood for being our Quiz Master and Judy Kerr for organising the trivia questions and adjudicating on the evening. Also an appreciative thanks to Club Forbes for the venue and nibbles supplied by the club.

A reminder to all VIEW Club members to contact their designated person by Thursday 5 June to RSVP for lunch on 12 June 2025. Special guest speaker will be Anne South speaking about Eugowra and the flood recovery.
