Valley Gardens CC quiz night on Jan. 31
Valley Gardens Community Centre (218 Antrim Rd.) will host a quiz night on Saturday, Jan. 31, to raise funds for a new outdoor basketball court, an idea which has been in the planning stages since 2012 but is now gaining momentum.
Individuals or teams of between eight and 10 can register for the quiz, which runs from 7 to 11 p.m. Cost is $30 per person, which includes popcorn and one non-alcoholic beverage. There will also be a cash bar and a raffle, with proceeds going towards the basketball court project.
Space is limited to 14 tables/teams. To register, or for more information, visit valleygardenscc.com/events/quiz-night-1
