We are back for another season of trivia from 7pm tonight. Our kitchen is currently closed for a freshen up, so unless you're happy with one of Dan's home brand pies, or Brad's famous Anchovette on toast, you are very welcome to bring something along with you!

Trivia is back from 7pm Tuesday! As our kitchen is closed for a little spruce up, everyone is more than welcome to bring a little something to nibble on or an entire smorgasbord - whatever floats your boat!

What a great night we’ve had at The Central remembering our mate Raso.
Our Charity Meat Raffles which Raso has run for so many years every Friday night with his great mate Tommy Spain featured a very special prize tonight - a brilliant hamper full of all of Raso’s favourite drinks and snacks.
Thanks to the generosity of the amazing Cootamundra community - tonight’s raffles (and a couple of impromptu auctions🤣) raised over $4,200 to add to the already $30,000 Raso and Tommy have raised this year alone!! Thank you Coota 👏🏻👏🏻

As many of you would know, we lost our great mate "Raso" on 15 September. Raso and "Honest Tom" Spain have been running Charity Raffles at The Central every Friday night for years, raising tens of thousands of dollars for local charities.
Raso's beautiful family have created a magnificent hamper full of his favourite treats, and we'll be raffling this hamper on Friday night in aid of those same charities. There's w**e, wh***ey, a few cheeky snacks and of course a few stubbies of Reschs!
So drop into The Central today and buy a few tickets in memory of Raso and we'll see if we can break our all-time one night fund raising record for these very worthy local charities!
