You've lapped up Wimbledon, the World Cup and with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow about to explode, here's your chance to put all that sporting trivia to good use.
On August 1 Port Macquarie's Go for Gold Trivia Night will be held at St Columba Anglican School's Iona Centre.
Better still is that it's all in aid of The Mayor's Sporting Fund. And with former recipients like swimming world record holder James Magnussen (who will wear the green and gold in Glasgow), Paralympian Ryley Batt and international cyclist Lauren Kitchen, we know there's Hastings talent to burn!
It will cost $120 to book your table of eight and although there are no gold medals on offer you just might taken home the lucky door prize of a Gold Coast holiday for two.
To be in the running for sports trivia bragging rights, just call Janine Buesnel on 6588 6600 or pop into the Port news office in Milton circuit, Port Macquarie, for more information.
Before the big night, why not try these warm-up question on the Commonwealth Games? You can find the answers here.
