Players commented on the atmosphere of friendship and fun which has become a feature of the event. </div> <div> A number of local teams competed against visitors from other parts of Palerang. Bungendore team XX , which has won several challenges over the years, and a formidable team from Carwoola have been notably stalwart supporters of the event over a number of years.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Last month's event was remarkable for the closeness of the scores. All teams scored well, and in the final countdown previous winners XX were beaten by only half a point. The proud winners were a local scratch team competing as the Bywong Miners.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Warwick Cathro and Diana Dack again conducted the evening, and continue to devote their considerable skills to the event in spite of having moved from the area. The Community is in their debt. The Community also thanks its sponsors and donors - Lambert Winery for their handsome wine prize for the winners, Wagonga Coffee for their upmarket product, D'lish Cafe for sweet-tooth prizes for individual events, the Garlick family for their PA system, committee members and friends who provided a cockle-warming selection of supper soups and Wamboin Hall for lending extra chairs.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="18e20580.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="600" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>Some of the participants at the Bywong Trivia Challenge evening</I></div> <div> <B>    </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Trivia Challenge 2007</B></div> <bR> <div> Another successful Trivia Challenge evening was held in July with full attendance, a happy atmosphere and an even wider than usual range of soups for supper.  Well-known Bungendore team "XX" carried off the honours, their 4th  win of the Challenge.  The overall high leel of scores speaks well for the mental agility and awareness of our community.  Warwich Cathro and Diana Dack, no longer Bywong residents, journeyed from across the border to run the evening.  </div> <bR> <div> Lambert Vineyards once again generously donated the major prize of the evening's raffle - Dinner for 2 at their vineyard restaurant and the winning table prize of 8 bottles of wine.  Coffee, and the equipment to make it, was provided by Wagonga Coffee.  Thanks also go to Wamboin Community Association for providing extra chairs.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Trivia Challenge 2006</B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" >  </FONT> Lambert's Vineyards <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Verdana" >generously agreed to sponsor the 2006 Trivia Night.  They supplied  a great prize of "Dinner for Two (including wine)" for our evening's raffle together with bottles of wine for each member of the winning table.
