Africa - Albany

Quizzes for Fundraising at Africa

Africa, Albany and Africa, Highland Park are large function venues. Weekly quizzes on Wed nights have been popular for several years. We also host general knowledge quizzes for charity fund-raising purposes, on other days. They are a popular and efficient fund-raising method.

Important Facts:

  • Capacity – licensed for 420 guests (Albany) and 150 (Highland Park) but 120 in a quiz format;
  • The "Africas" have Supervised Liquor Licences, which means that no persons under the age of 18 years can be on the premises unless accompanied by their parent or legal guardian;
  • The recommended format is 20 teams of 6 = 120. This maximises fund-raising capacity while ensuring that all participants can be seated comfortably;
  • Availability – Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights are currently recommended but this changes as other regular events are scheduled. Please discuss the options with us prior to committing to a particular day;
  • Start time – Africa is flexible but recommends 7.00 for 7.30pm, to finish by 10.30pm;
  • We offer a wide range of meals, which may be convenient for guests prior to the quiz (but bookings are recommended for quiz nights). Special discounts for quiz players can be arranged;
  • Due to the fixed costs for Africa of hosting a large quiz, it is not economically viable to host a charity quiz with less than 80 guests.

Africa provides:

  • Quiz and all consumables such as answer booklets;
  • Quiz host and scorers;
  • PA system (if necessary);
  • Cash bar (and meals)
  • A complimentary, small snack basket on every table (if 100+ guests);
  • A complimentary round of drinks to the team that wins the "Quizzler".

Quiz Organiser to:

  • Sell 120 tickets ($15-$20 per person) or say $100 per team of 6 (Organiser's choice as Africa has nothing to do with this aspect);
  • Source prizes (in groups of 6, depending on selected team size), ideally provided free of charge by sponsors;
  • Communicate the address, start time and information about meals/booking, etc to guests;
  • Provide 2-3 individuals to assist with collecting answer sheets on the night (if very large quiz);
  • Preferably source some auction items or other items to raffle, to raise additional funds – the quiz host is not a licensed auctioneer but can auction a few items informally.

Please contact us for more information or to plan/book a charity quiz evening.
We would be happy to help!
