PUBTALK<br />

KICK OFF<br />

The <strong>2018</strong> Super Rugby, NRL and AFL seasons are<br />

now underway, as are hundreds of tipping competitions<br />

being run in our pubs across the state. Best of luck<br />

with your footy promotions throughout the season.<br />

If you require assistance with clarifying rules around<br />

incentives and advertising please contact the <strong>QHA</strong>.<br />

It was great to see many familiar faces, and to<br />

meet new hoteliers, at the AHG Expo in Brisbane in<br />

early <strong>March</strong>. I hope you were all able to take away<br />

valuable insights and ideas to implement in your<br />

business. Large exhibitions of this nature can often<br />

be a whirlwind for attendees, particularly with all of<br />

the bright lights and big sounds of gaming hardware.<br />

If you missed any contacts or would like any further<br />

information on any of the products or services please<br />

contact me directly and I will be happy to put you in<br />

touch with the appropriate corporate partners.<br />

PUBS, POTS AND PROFITS – TOWNSVILLE<br />

GOLD COAST HOTELIERS BREAKFAST<br />

Thank you to the hoteliers who attended the <strong>QHA</strong><br />

Gold Coast Hoteliers Breakfast held at the Robina<br />

Tavern in February. The feedback from the event has<br />

been positive with guests enjoying presentations<br />

from representatives of the Commonwealth Games,<br />

OLGR and industry partners. PFD Food Services<br />

again showcased the quality fresh produce they<br />

have available to all licenced venues right across the<br />

state and special thanks must go to Tom McGregor,<br />

Stephanie Carlsson and the Gold Coast PFD Team.<br />

Thank you again to Barry Fitzgibbons and Damien<br />

Stephen for their efforts in hosting the breakfast.<br />

We wish all Gold Coast hotels every success in trade<br />

throughout the Commonwealth Games event in April!<br />
