Bashers Trivia World Cup

So here we go, first quiz of the year and its shaping up to be a big one. To co-incide with the first match of the World cup we are going to show off our huge mental ability and other wonderful pub based talents.

We will have some great prizes on the night and the draw for the World Cup sweep stake. The Camel’s kitchen will be serving up a special Indian curry just for us so we can all get in the mood. Also Sinbad has offered to do us a traditional belly dance as the half time entertainment, can’t wait.

So lets see a show of hands below for teams and lets make this a big start to the year. Any potential new players are also more than welcome so they can see us in action off the pitch.

Get there nice and early and get a feed into you! (more…)

World Cup Sweepstakes

Amongst the madness of the Expo Quiz there was a draw for a world cup (the soccer one in SA next month – you may have heard of it) sweepstakes. The following coughed up some cash and this is the teams they got assigned. They’re all in line to win some Just beer! I see some fierce rivalry coming up at the camel over this but it’s nice to see how this may help sooth some cross-tasman tensions.
STOP PRESS! MORE BEER!

Draw number two is out – we got some last second entries and filled the full quota of 32. Read on for the results…
