WHAT A CHALLENGE NIGHT!

Last Friday was our annual Hornsby Rockets Challenge Night, and the place was packed. Many thanks to our sponsors and patrons who showed up in force to compete.

In addition to the camaraderie on the night, we used it to raise a bit of additional funds.

But more on that a bit later.

The winners this year were:

1st place = Mixed Probus - Heather Thomlinson, Keith Carson, Ken Cooper and Ted Tyler

2nd place = Ben's Bunch - Ben Barber, Mike Spratt, Declan O'Connor and Ron Crompton


3rd place = MC's - Emma Matthews, Amy McFadden, Natham Constable and Adam Mandarano

Well done all of you, and best of luck to the others next year.

On the fundraising front, 

In addition to the team fees collected we raised $66 in the lolly jar guessing competition (I didn't win, despite my scientific methods) and $347.65 in the raffle (and loose change donations). The overall profit on the night was $1296.05 

Thanks everybody!

On the night one of our patrons, Matt Keane, Member for Hornsby, brought along a symbolic cheque for $2,000 representing the NSW Sports and Rec grant recently awarded to Hornsby Rockets. Many thanks, Matt.


 Thanks again, everybody, and practice up for next year!
