Greg's got meat - Wiseman Park Wollongong City Bowling Club

Every Friday Night Greg is giving away his meat.

Wait, let's rephrase that! Wiseman Park Wollongong City Bowling Club runs a meat raffle every Friday night. Greg from WafeFM is the compere and does a wonderful job of calling out the numbers and giving general club announcements.

The meat trays are supplied by Keiraville Butchers.

I first met Greg when he ran the Tuesday trivia night. He has a very easy going and caring attitude and made the night an enjoyable one. The trivia night is now hosted by Dave Gore from i98.



"He asked me to press his button!" says Stan

If you win a tray Greg will invite you to press his button - the button to generate the next number in the raffle.



We often go to the Friday meat raffle and have dinner at The Park Restaurant. They offer a fantastic 'finger food combo' which is perfect raffle fare. A platter of buffalo wings, spring rolls, potato skins, samosas and salad which is a good appetizer for up to three people.

After the raffle enjoy some music. Every Friday night there is a band.
