Very successful Trivia Nights have been held in 2022 and 2023.
Our next Trivia night is tentatively scheduled for late February 2025. More detailed information will be posted as it becomes available.
Whilst raising funds for a nominated charity group, this popular night of entertainment which is held at the Cronulla Arts Theatre provides a wonderful opportunity to support our funds raising as well as lthe activities of local thespians.
Our members provide pre-show canapes and drinks for all who attend this function.
Over many years Zonta Botany Bay has taken the opportunity to fundraise at Bunnings BBQs at Taren Point and Kirrawee stores.These days are a good opportunity to fundraise and socialise with our fellow Zontians, Hon Zons and friends of Zonta as well as to raise community awareness of what Zonta is all about. Many thanks to our club members, Hon Zons and friends of Zonta who work to make these days a great success

In March 2021, to celebrate International Women's Day, we held a Young Women's Networking Event organized by our young professional members. This event brought in young women aged 18 to 25 years from our past YWPA entrants and members of Z clubs from Wollongong and Sydney West. The session proved to be very successful.
The success of the 2021 session was recreated in 2022 with the Reconnecting Young Women event being held and was supported by a grant from the Georges River Council.
Currently, no further events are planned.
ZCBB ran an annual charity golf day at Calderwood Golf Club for more than 25 years. With the beautiful surroundings of Calderwood, just south of Wollongong, and easily accessible from Sydney, the day attracted men and women golfers with skill levels somewhere on the good, the bad and the ugly spectrum. While the golf is important, the food, drink and social aspects of the day all contributed to the success of the club’s fund-raising efforts as well as raising awareness of the organisations supported by ZCBB. Unfortunately, this event did not recover from the pandemic.
Mark Twain (and others) may consider golf to be a good walk ruined, but for those who play the game regularly, it is the best and most frustrating game ever conceived.

2019 was a landmark year for Zonta International and the Zonta Club of Botany Bay. The Celebration lunch was held at the St George 16ft Sailing Club on 9th November 2019 with approximately seventy past and present Zontians, Hon Zons and invited guests attending. The first President of ZCBB, Beverley Davies OAM, was one of our guests along with representatives from organisations that ZCBB had and/or continues to assist including Platform 9, Beauty Bank, Kookaburra Kids and Moving Forward. A number of these guests spoke briefly and passionately about the work they undertake in the community to assist women and the important part that ZCBB plays in delivering this assistance. The gathering enjoyed an excellent lunch followed by a magnificent celebration cake cut by three of the original and on-going members of ZCBB–Bronlyn Schoer, Ann Selle and June Beattie. All three spoke about their experiences over the past 25 years which proved to be a highlight amongst a day of highlights. The past 25 years were celebrated in style but it is clear that no-one at ZCBB is resting upon past achievements
