And just like that 2025 Variety - the Children's Charity of Queensland bash is finished. Some long days. Some good laughs. Some technical challenges. Lots of comradierie. And most importantly much needed fund raising for Children in Need. A huge thank you to all our sponsors and we managed to get to Gold Level this year improving on last year's Silver. Final tallies around $1.7 million for Queensland and $ 8 million dollars nationally for the 50th Anniversary. Thanks Variety for all the efforts. The picture below optimises the spirit...
