Blacktown District Monopoly Run 2021 (Open to all districts in GWS)

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE START/FINISH LOCATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CHANGED FROM ALPHA PARK TO BLACKTOWN SHOWGROUND NEAR THE GROUNDSKEEPER CAFE**

We have turned key locations within the greater Blacktown area into Monopoly Board Squares. Your teams job is to travel around by foot or train/bus (No Bikes, Scooters or Cars - Sorry Guys) and find each of our key locations.

When you are there, take a photo of your team and send it to us - If you are the first team to arrive, you have the option of buying the location and earning rent from other teams - otherwise you will need to pay rent :(

The team with the most money at the end of the game wins!

Following the event, we will all join together back at the Marshelling Point for a BBQ meal. 

Bring your own Lunch, Opal Card and Snacks. Cost of event is for Event Costs, BBQ and trophies.
