Brought to you jointly by VUWTC, NZAC Wellington and WTMC, join us on Tuesday 28th of July at the Hunter Lounge for a night of Wellington outdoors community quiz fun. We'll be raising funds (and glasses) for Land Search and Rescue Wellington - with some mega quiz and raffle prizes thrown in too!

The quiz

Come along to test your knowledge, share a drink with friends, and make a meaningful contribution to a charity doing incredible work to ensure Aotearoa's outdoor enthusiasts 

Tickets will be sold per team: $85 for a student team, and $175 for a non-student team. Each team ticket comes with a bowl of fries and a large Hunter Lounge pizza! Each team can have up to 6 people in it - we encourage you to fill up your team to the full 6 people! The number of teams will be strictly limited, so make sure your team buys a ticket to reserve its spot - individual places can be filled later (liaise with your clubs to help you find some team mates).

Arrive from 6pm at the Hunter Lounge for a 6:45pm sharp start to the quiz. We would recommend arriving early to ensure you have time to buy your raffle tickets, buy-an-answer coupons and any drinks you may want, and find your allocated table before the quiz kicks off. Check out our event page on Facebook and follow your club on Instagram for more details!

The raffle & buy-an-answer 

Not totally persuaded yet? Thanks to the generous support of epic local and national sponsors we can also boast the most stacked raffle and quiz prizes in Wellington.

We’ll also have $1000s more in prizes from Kiwi adventure heavy weights!

Raffle tickets will be on sale on the night only (strong preference for cash). Tickets are $5 for one, or $20 for 5. You won’t want to miss out on a shot at these. Make sure you’re following us on Facebook and Instagram for some sneak peaks, and in the meantime check out Coffee Outdoors’ full range at www.coffeeoutdoors.co.nz

A new element we are introducing this year are buy-an-answer coupons. These coupons allow you to select up to 2 questions per round to receive a correct mark for. Coupons are $5 each (i.e. $5 per question), with a maximum of 10 coupons being able to be utilised throughout the quiz (maximum 2 per round). Coupons will be available for sale on the night only (strong preference for cash).

Food and drink

The Hunter Lounge offers some fantastic food and drink and will be serving all night. Team tickets include one bowl of fries and one pizza already, but feel free to order extra food and drinks as well! Tables will be allocated so ensure you know your table number before ordering.

A chance to have fun, win big, AND support a great cause? You don’t want to miss this one. Grab your buddies and let's get behind a good cause. We can't wait to see you there!

Time to stop procrastinating on those trip reports! This is a session for you to lock in and write reports on all the adventures you have been on this year with the club!

Join me at AM103 at 5pm on the 28th July (Tuesday)

Get your grippy socks on and join us as we venture into the Hutt Park Jumperama. 

If you would like to bike: meet outside the Wellington train station by the Gandhi Statue at 1pm. We will depart at 1:15. The ride is 45 minutes according to google maps, and it's all off-road, which is pretty incredible. 

If you don't want to bike, meet at Jumperama at 2pm. There is an 83 bus route, or ride share! 

We will all meet at Jumperama at 2pm and bounce for an hour. If we are having lots of fun we can pay an extra $10 and bounce for 2 hours. I'm hoping to backflip safely. 

Fees: 

- $16 entry to Jumperama (with your own socks)

- $18 entry to Jumperama (socks included) 

Here's a table. One hour - $18, two hours is $28.
