Trivial Pursuits

AB Computer Training has been out and about, wandering the Illawarra and doing our stuff. So much so that we've been neglecting this blog, which is very bad of us.

So here's some pictures to liven things up.

A few weeks ago we took part in a trivia night, organised by the BNI Central chapter. It was to raise money for Angels of Hope; a not for profit community organisation, who in conjunction with Southern Western Sydney Illawarra Area Health Services, support mental health and suicide prevention programs in Illawarra school and community groups.

Being recent migrants we approached the idea of a trivia night with some trepidation; trivia can be very parochial, as we discovered when we had a Swiss couple on our team for a quiz back in the UK. However we acquitted ourselves with honour, and our 'local' knowledge was sufficient for us to be able to say how many stations there are on the London Underground (270, apparently).

We got a hamper for winning one of the rounds, and eher we are posing with it:

Last week we exhibited at the Shellharbour Small Business Network's annual expo. It's the first time we'd done anything like this, and we found it an entertaining and educational evening.

Here's our stand just after we'd set up:

And here it is later in the evening:

Catherine and, more importantly, our logo, briefly appeared on WIN TV news as well.

So, as you can see, we've been very busy when we're not teaching or preparing lessons.
