Over eighty participants braved the chilly evening to make the event a highly enjoyable one for all concerned.
Our Quiz Master, Dave Hilson, very ably presided over the evening in great style considerable patience and good humour despite the usual Beach Haven banter and the odd challenge to answers. Thanks Dave, you did a wonderful job.
Our sincere thanks also go to all participants for supporting the Club, especially the large group based on the Ray White, Beach Haven Office who also donated the Auction Prize. As in all contests there are winners and losers and also those who came oh, so close. One such team, “I Knew That!” did not quite know enough but pushed the eventual winners very hard to finish just three points behind “Bowled Over” who took out the top prize.
Watch this space for details of our next Social event planned for July.

The Badger

We celebrate your child’s maths and English achievements, big and small. Tutoring at NumberWorks’nWords is based on success. Each child feels more confident about themselves as a learner when they experience success. Tutors provide positive interaction, certificates are awarded and centre-wide celebration is given when students move up a level. You may have been in the centre and heard the clapping and cheering when this happens. It’s so rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces and how proud they are of their achievements.
