The Gold Coast Marathon 2023

A big thank you to all volunteers who helped at the refreshment station and also those who ‘played’ a vital part in motivating the runners; The Band!

A very successful event thanks mainly to Michelle who was simply brilliant at organising us! We all had a great time!

Here are a few photos that were taken (some turned out a bit ‘cheesy’, sorry, but that’s just how the ‘muffins‘ crumble…)

The joint concert with Tweed Coast Band was a tremendous success!

The Tweed Coast Band kicked off the evening with some very enjoyable and well-known favourites, followed by Benowa Brass showing off their considerable progress.
The evening culminated with Surfers Paradise Brass playing a blend of exciting and foot-tapping music merged with some beautiful songs from the classics.

The Bunnings sausage sizzle organised by Michelle Hudson raised a net profit of $1608.39!!  
A fantastic effort from all our volunteers!

Last rehearsal before the Nationals (apart from the additional one on Easter Saturday in Newcastle).  I think we will peak perfectly!

Our Annual Band AGM went smoothly as always and we had the pleasure of the company of The Honourable John-Paul Langbroek, Rob Molhoek MP and Councillor Brooke Patterson.

First rehearsal of the year went well.  I think the chops of those who are preparing to play solos in the Nationals fared very well, and a few other dedicated members also!
