[RNLD] Melbourne: Fifth Linguistics Trivia Night!

[Andrew Tanner]

On behalf of Rosey and Katie at Melbourne University, allow me to pass on
this exciting news :)

On Thursday 19th of December, the **FIFTH LINGUISTICS TRIVIA NIGHT** will
be hosted by Katie and Rosey (from the University of Melbourne), as an
end-of-year get-together! Don't worry – we won't be asking you to produce
the long-lost Indo-European laryngeal consonants, or to locate the language
acquisition device, but we will put together some fun questions and puzzles
that are broadly language-themed. Language enthusiasts in the Melbourne
area are all welcome!

Trivia will be at The Clyde Hotel, beginning at 7pm, but we suggest you
arrive a bit before if you want to grab a bite to eat. Food and drink are
available at reasonable prices (see menu
<https://www.theclydehotel.com.au/clyde-hotel-menu/> online).

There is no cost to participate, but there will be a donation box, and any
contributions will go towards helping an Indigenous language
activist/linguist/teacher to attend a conference or training event. This
will be managed by the Living Languages
<https://www.livinglanguages.org.au/> team. Previous trivia fundraising
efforts led to Zoom recorders to support work on the Ngarrindjeri, Wonnarua
and Jandai languages, helped Living Languages assemble Master-Apprentice
Kits for use by people at the Far West Language Centre and the Kimberley
Language Resource Centre, and helped Indigenous participants attend the
Paper & Talk workshops at AIATSIS. Living Languages has Deductible Gift
Recipient status, so donations over $2 are tax deductible.

We'd like to get an idea of numbers in advance, so please RSVP here
<https://forms.gle/zqaR78m5Qps929o18> by Friday 13th of December if you'd
like to attend.

Date: Thursday 19th of December
Time: 6pm-ish, for trivia starting 7pm
Location: The Clyde Hotel <https://www.theclydehotel.com.au/>, 385 Cardigan
Street, Carlton
