BELATED THANKS TO ALL FOR GCLL 2016
On behalf of the Gold Coast Power Boat & Sports Club (GCPBSC) Inc, we’d like to publicly acknowledge the following organisations and/or people who assisted in the running of the inaugural Gold Coast Liquid Lightning event. We sincerely thank you for your support to make our event successful.
Thanks go to APBA QLD, SQPBC, GCWA, SES, QPS, Water Police, Craig Farrar, Mark Staunton, Sam Smith, Mark Turton, Megan Burns, Craig Francis, Neil Murray, Phil Cmrlec, Woody, Peter Thompson, Lindsay MacMillan, David Garner, Caitlyn Garner, Paige Garner, Andrew Wells, Andrew Leeson, Grant Jones, Stuart Arthy, Jo Douglas, Joy Smith, Gary McCaa, Darren Smith, Al Boswell, Grant Harrison, Mark Alchin, Claire Alchin, Steven Alchin, Annalie Cwikel, Bevan Partridge, Bruce Steel, Michael Voss and Brent Lewis.
Special mention must go to the Gold Coast Power Boat & Sports Club members, particularly the Arthy family who worked tirelessly in the couple of days prior to the start of Gold Coast Liquid Lightning. With only a 24 hour set up of everything and a 4 hours dismantling of all infrastructure, to say it was exhausting was an understatement. Special thanks also to Bianca Brierley for her tireless effort in the design and production of every flyer/image and making changes as required in the lead up to our event. Special thanks to Chris Stone for his amazing design and production of our race program and to David Ainley for his assistance in the production and design of signs at our venue and trophy cheques for our award winners.
Sincere thanks to the generous support of our boat racing sponsors..

We’d also like to thank all the boat drivers and crews (especially our international and interstate visitors) for their support of our club’s event. Our club is always looking at new ideas and we have some great new racing ideas for next year. We would love to see you back here racing in QLD again in 2017! Our proposed 2017 dates will be announced shortly.
Thanks also to our families and members of our club who distributed thousands of flyers to the public in Brisbane, Gold Coast and in their local areas. Thanks again for all those who “shared” our flyer via social media and via word of mouth – it was very much appreciated.
They said it wouldn't happen, they said it can't be done. Well it happened and it went off with a bang. 2016 Gold Coast Liquid Lightning is done and dusted.
