Surf club holds trivia night for world title trip

The Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club will hold a fundraising trivia night from 7pm on Saturday, July 23, to send competitors and officials to the 2016 Surf Lifesaving World Titles in Noordwijk, in the Netherlands.

The surf club hopes to raise funds for the upcoming trip through community support.

The team consists of seven competitors and has a history of medalling at state, Australian and World Championships.

Mr Warren Peters, who has attended six Surf Lifesaving World Championships, said: "Competing at the World Championships is a great way to help other countries' competitors who do not have the heritage and experience that Australians have."

Mr David Thompson, who has attended nine World Championships, said he viewed global cooperation as a major draw for the event.

"What appeals to me most is the friendship of the international membership and the opportunity to visit different countries to experience their cultures."

The trivia night will have a variety of entertainment, and will include prizes, games, a dessert auction and photo booth.

Tickets are $15 per head.

Bookings can be made as a table of eight or as single entrants by contacting Ocean Beach Surf Club on 4344 2800.
