Just posted this link to the President of the NQMA because I believe it was a huge mistake shutting our event down....

I didn't even know that they had that event up in FNQ.

Yeah mate, it was awesome!
A new President shut it down because it takes a lot of work behind the scenes to keep it going.
My family and I used to do alright in the Comp!
Ive taken out Senior mens, Senior Teams, my lad took out U14 and U16 when he was 12!!
I miss the event, it was fun and a good social catch up with the old miners that you don't see around much!
Even less now...
