Twilight mini golf - Collier Park Golf
Collier Park Golf, Hayman Rd, Como WA 6152, Australia, Como, WA, AUThis meetup format is a favourite of mine when the weather is right. We start at sunset and play through the night as the floodlights come on. This format always brings great banter and connection.
We will have two groups of four players. For those in my group, I will keep the score on an Excel spreadsheet on my phone.
Afterwards, we can go to Village Green to have dinner in the alfresco area. There’s plenty of options for food.

About the 🎲 board games night 🌃
Just two weeks after launching Activate Mental Health, founder Rahul Seth took the stage at a Vic Park Collective crowdfunding dinner in Victoria Park. His passionate pitch paid off, securing $890 in funding.
Demonstrating his commitment to the broader mental health community, Rahul donated 25% of the funds to another local charity. With the remaining amount, he purchased a collection of board games, laying the foundation for Activate's monthly board game nights.
Since August 2016, these nights have been a staple at the Victoria Park Community Centre, fostering connection and community among attendees.
