Let's Get Trivial
CALLING ALL BOOKWORMS and lovers of the written word. If you know your Peter Carey from your Peter Temple, your Jane Eyre from your Jane Harper, the NT Writers’ Centre’s (NTWC) night of quizzical nights is for you.
By Tierney Seccull
Head along to Darwin Trailer Boat Club for their once-a-year Book Club Trivia Night, and test your literary knowledge whilst raising funds for the hard-working organisation.
NTWC Program Manager Rita Horanyi, also this year’s NT Writers Festival Artistic Director, says it’s a hoot, with something for everyone.
“It’s a lot of fun. The questions revolve around books, but there’s all kinds of different categories, like Books and Film, sometimes we’ll have Books and Music, there’s usually a round where you’ve got to guess the book from the cover, and questions about opening lines, that sort of thing,” she says.
The NTWC celebrates 25 years this year, setting a goal to raise $25,000 by the end of the year. Funds raised on the evening go towards programs, workshops and the annual NT Writers Festival to further support the Territory’s wordsmiths. Tickets include a chilled Coopers beer, and attendees are encouraged to up their ticket by five dollars to make $25 for 25 years of the NTWC.
So have a good time, do a good thing, and get behind the NTWC.
“It’s just like any trivia night, it’s a lot of fun ... Grab a delicious dinner, enjoy a cold glass of beer and hang out with your friends.”
