What a wonderful night

What a wonderful night.

Thank you to the Gympie Chamber of Commerce for holding the Business Awards.

Thank you also to all the Sponsors of the different Business Awards.

The Pavilion sparkled with lights above our heads, around the room and on the tables.

The members of the Gympie QCWA Branch were stoked to have made it as finalist.

Our President Wendy Flikweert and Secretary Brenda Scott attended the evening in all their glam.

As a note QCWA raises money to help in the community not to send members to awards nights, so the members paid for their own tickets and the advertisement in the Gympie Chamber of Commerce Business Awards section in the Gympie Today was also paid for by member donation.

We heard on the night that over 400 businesses applied and it was narrowed down to 140 finalists.

Congratulations to all the other finalists. But not everyone can be a winner or runner up, so what a difficult decision the judging panel would have had.

Thank you to all the judges on the panel.

Members of the Gympie QCWA Branch would like to wish a huge Congratulations to all the Winners and Runners Up on the night, for the Business Awards.
