Melbourne Centre trivia night

Melbourne Centre
The AMOS Melbourne Centre hosted its third annual trivia
night on 26 June at The University of Melbourne. Once again
the event was a great success with participants coming up
from the Bureau of Meteorology, Monash University and CSIRO
to take part in a very fun, yet challenging quiz. We also had
many geology students from Melbourne University joining in
the fun and we are grateful to the University’s Earth Sciences
Postgraduate Group (ESPG) for co-hosting the event.
We had around 40 people take part in the trivia with a group
from the Australian-German Energy College winning this year.
Stephanie Jacobs and Rob Ryan did a great job of preparing the
quiz and we thank them for putting so much effort into coming
up with a great range of questions.
We look forward to hosting another trivia night again next year!

Anniversary publications
To mark the occasion of AMOS’s 30th Anniversary, the Anniversary Committee have produced a report — A Professional Society
for Meteorology and Oceanography in Australia — summarising the history of both the Royal Meteorological Society Australian
Branch (1973–1987) and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (1987–present).
In addition to this new report, the editors of the journal Weather have produced a special AMOS 30th Anniversary Virtual Issue,
which is free to read for a short time. Photos from the event can also be viewed/downloaded from the events archive on our
website.
