Rotary District 9800
Proposed Boroondara Cluster Clubs Quiz Contest
Thursday 12 March 2026, Dinner
Green Acres Golf Club
4 November 2025
G’day Boroondara Cluster Presidents and Michael Stillwell
Following our meeting on Friday, Michael, you asked me to send out more detail about a proposed Cluster Quiz Contest being planned for Thursday 12 March next. Here ’tis.
Each club should provide a team of three members, one with over ten years experience, one with less than two years membership, and each team to have mixed genders.
Two teams will play off in each round. Each team member will have their own buzzer with light. The first to buzz in will have the chance to answer. If incorrect, the opposing team will have the chance to do so. It is proposed ten questions be asked in each round, half Rotary-based and half general knowledge. The number of rounds needed to determine the two finalists will depend on the numbers of clubs competing.
If neither team answers correctly then the question may be answered by those at one of the club tables, as nominated by an adjudicator. Apart from the winning team, the table with the most points will also win prizes.
Including their teams of three, in late February Clubs will be asked to book a table/s for dinner in support. Partners will be most welcome.
Since all the questions will be compiled confidentially, similar to the successful 1993 RI Convention Quiz here in Melbourne, it will help if clubs indicate their wish to participate asap. Please let me know directly once you have decided.
The quiz will take place no matter the club number but it will add to the atmosphere and fun on the night the more Rotarians and guests who take part.
Cheers!

President 2025/26, Rotary Club of North Balwyn
