OFFICE NEWS:

Debra Keelan is back in the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 8.00-4.00pm.

The vacancy on the QWA Management Committee has been filled following an EOI out to the QWA membership. We are very happy to welcome Gabi Snowdon to this role.

Work continues in the Athlete Advisory Group space to fill vacancies and finalise the AAG representative for the QWA MC for the 2025-2026 governance period.

A QWA rep lifting suit order is due in 7th October – the majority of this order has been pre-ordered with payments required to confirm pre-orders due by tomorrow. Unpaid pre-orders will be referred to those currently sitting on the waiting list. Unfortunately due to an increased lead time for production of lifting suits by Sylvia P we are unable source any additional stock for the remainder of the National events this year.
