Upto next Thurs? ... Fark Knows (nah - literally, we're going to Fark Knows).

So bring your Quiz-In-My-Pants teammates (but maybe leave your Quiz-rael Folau's at home) and we'll see you for the best midweek catch up plans that have finally made it out of the group chat.
This Thursdays quiz hosted by Joe Daymond and Bailey Poching

All experience levels welcome - even if it's your first time (we'll be here to take the credit if you make it big!)
Not a DJ? Nothing better than a full dancefloor for your first gig, come for a dance and support the up and comers! We'll have cheap eats & drinks all night.
