Christmas Breakup and Biennial Awards

at Mt Coot-tha Auditorium 2021.

It was wonderful to celebrate the culmination of another year at the Mt Coot-tha Auditorium,(24th Nov) after the many Functions that have been cancelled in the last two years. There were 93 Members from 28 Clubs in attendance. As it was the Biennial Awards there was a panel of three Judges:
Angela Trenerry from Touch Football Australia
Carwyn Arnold from the Probus Association of Queensland and
Des Boyland from the Wildlife Preservation Society who made the presentations.
They had a tough job sorting through the
many nominations.
