3 ISSF Pistol Australia Nationals Brisbane 2018 The PSQ Board and the Nationals Organising Committee wish to sincerely thank the PSQ members who put time aside to assist PSQ host the Championships. There were many volunteer roles to be had and we had a small but very dedicated group of members who stepped up to take on any task that needed doing. The dedication, cooperation, enthusiasm and willingness to be part of the volunteer crew was sincerely appreciated and helped share the responsibility of hosting such a major event for our sport. The Championships concluded with a Presentation Dinner at the East Leagues Club at Coorparoo on the Sunday night, where the Aggregate and other special awards were presented. Attendees enjoyed an excellent meal and great venue, and we were very pleased that our Patron Robbie Katter Jnr P was able to attend.
