This year the Tweed RAP committee consisting of members from Tweed Shire Council, Social Futures, Momentum Collective and The Family Centre held their annual Reconciliation Week event… Myth Busters – Comedy and Trivia Night. With over 90 guests attending the night the evening kicked off with a Welcome to Country by Uncle Victor accompanied by Brandon on the digeridoo. Uncle Victor then gave a moving speech on reconciliation.
Guest where then treated to a traditional Kupmurri dinner prepared by Alfie Summers accompanied by non-alcoholic craft beer infused with bush tucker ingredients from Clinton at Soba. Clinton donated all the proceeds from his sales on the night to the local NAIDOC committee totaling $250.
Then it was onto the laughs and trivia with local comedians Vanessa Mitchell and Matt Ford. Matt is a local indigenous man who was a finalist in Deadly Laughs and has appeared on NITV. He is now touring the country in a comedy show called Aboriginalol.
The trivia was a real brain twister, busting the myths on local and national indigenous culture and history with 4 teams coming out on top and being rewarded with some great prizes from our sponsors.
We would like to thank all of those who attended the night and our sponsors:
Surf Dive n Ski, Seagulls, Pottsville Beach Sports Club, Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club, Richard Frost, Yarru Water and Soba.
