Northern Beaches Trivia – Dee Why Bowling Club – Tuesdays at 7
Northern Beaches trivia is kicking off in a new venue in Dee Why.
It’s at the Dee Why Bowling Club at 223 Fisher Rd N Dee Why, and it is kicking off every Tuesday at 7pm.
We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got the kitchen all set to feed you, a fully stocked bar, and we’ve got great prizes courtesy of the Dee Why Bowlo.
There aren’t a lot of places you can warm up for trivia with a spot of bowls, but naturally the Dee Why Bowling Club isn’t your average venue. On top of that, iQ Trivia don’t do average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out.
If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we will provide.
Get to the club early for happy hour prices and meal deals.
As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to homework@iqtrivia.com.au with Dee Why Bowlo in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.
And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.
Book yourselves in for Northern Beaches trivia at the best spot on the beaches on 9971 8781 or on their website.
And we will see you at 7pm every Tuesday at the Dee Why Bowling Club.
