The UQ Sport Club and Sports Awards dinner is a chance for teams and athletes to let their hair down after a year of gruelling training and tough competition. Most of all, it’s a celebration of outstanding sporting achievements, club commitment and a way to show appreciation to all those involved in running UQ Sport Clubs. Not only is sporting excellence championed, but the dedication of coaches and efforts of volunteers is also recognised.
