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 />

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 />
