A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along to our annual Trivia Night last Friday! The night was a phenomenal success, and we once again sold out of tickets, all of which contributed towards raising a ton of funds for future Film Group initiatives. We had a great time putting it all together, and hope that everyone in attendance had a fantastic time too. Until next year!
If you weren't able to make it, keep an eye out on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/anufg) where we'll be posting a few of the table rounds from the night for you to check out shortly.
