Fitzy’s Tuesday Trivia Takeover

Looking to flex your brainpower this Tuesday evening? Head down to the heart of the city for one of Toowoomba’s favorite mid-week traditions. Fitzy’s Toowoomba, located at 153 Margaret Street, is hosting its weekly Trivia Tuesday. The competition kicks off at 7:00 PM, though locals are encouraged to arrive early to grab a drink and secure a table. The event offers free entry and features a variety of prizes up for grabs for those who can navigate the challenging questions. It is a fantastic opportunity for community connection, whether you are part of a seasoned team or just looking to join a group for some lighthearted fun.

Spiritual Gatherings and Community Meetups

For those seeking a quieter, more reflective start to the day, East Toowoomba is the place to be this morning. Two distinct community gatherings are scheduled to take place, offering residents a chance for spiritual growth and shared wisdom. The "Meditations on the Parables of Jesus" session begins with a prompt start at 10:00 AM (arrivals from 9:45 AM). This series explores timeless wisdom through the lens of modern spirituality and transformative love.

Simultaneously, a session titled "A Sunlit Absence" is being held in the same precinct. These Tuesday morning sessions, running from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, provide a space for contemplative practice and resting in communal silence. These meetups serve as a vital hub for community members looking to connect on a deeper level during the busy work week.

Mid-Week at the Cinema

Cinema lovers have plenty of options today with several new releases and international films hitting the screens at local theaters. At the Toowoomba Strand (BCC), moviegoers can catch the premiere of the Mandarin-language thriller "Scare Out," which officially begins its run today, February 17. The film follows a national security unit’s high-stakes mission to uncover a traitor.

Other notable titles currently showing at Toowoomba Strand and Grand Central include the critically acclaimed "The Housemaid," the drama "Marty Supreme," and the musical tribute "Song Sung Blue." Whether you are in the mood for a historical drama like "Nuremberg" or a lighthearted animated feature, the local cinema schedules for this Tuesday provide a welcome escape from the summer heat.
