The QWA would like to sincerely thank those clubs that had members competing at the State Masters Championships in conjunction with the NQ Games in Cairns on the weekend for actively supporting this regional event.
Dungeon Barbell Club put on a great show and thank you to their great team of volunteers for getting on with doing all the jobs needed to host a successful event. Locals reassured us that the weather was quite cool!!! After a few trips up those stairs was left thinking how I would have coped if it was hot!!!!!
Numerous new PB’s were registered on the platform.
