Heads Up and Date Claimer – Marauding Maroon Super Stars
Following on from the Tri-States Inter-Bar soccer tournament last year at Sydney in which a team from the Queensland Bar competing against teams from Victoria and New South Wales, it ahs been proposed that a Tri-State and one Territory tournament be held at the Gold Coast, Queensland.
It has been suggested that the tournament take place in conjunction with a series of approved CLE events. The current proposal is to hold the tournament on the weekend which contains Saturday 11 September 2011. Work is being done in conjunction with the three other bars to organise the event.
A purpose of this item is to provide a ‘heads up’ to all members of the Bar and to act as a date claimer.
Another purpose is to ask all interested in taking part in the tournament, the CLE program, possible name change for the team or interaction with our Bar and the other three Bars to please contact Dan O’Conner (3238 5100), Paul Favell (3236 2583) or John Selfridge (3112 5233).

Philanthropy Week 2011 expands on an earlier initiative honouring philanthropic endeavour, when Qantas was the recipient of the 2003 Awards for outstanding community service at the time of the Bali bombing. The 2011 event is particularly relevant in this year of natural disasters and tragedy when the outstanding response of Queenslanders and Australians seeking to relieve the plight of those affected, demonstrates the true spirit of cooperation and contribution in our communities.
