Wet weather may have kept numbers smaller than expected, but it did little to dampen the community spirit at the recent QCWA Abergowrie & Long Pocket Community Barbecue, with those who attended enjoying an evening filled with loal connection.

The gathering brought together people of all ages, from some of the community’s eldest residents through to its youngest members, creating a warm atmosphere centred around conversation, dancing and family fun. Music from Jonny helped keep the entertainment flowing throughout the evening, while support from Beaumont Tiles, Galipo's Midtown Meats and Mick's Bread Kitchen contributed to making the event possible.

Organisers said the evening was a reminder that community events are not always about the size of the crowd, but the connections created by those who attend.

“We may have been small in number, but we still enjoyed the warm family feel of our Community BBQ last night,” Ladies from the QCWA shared.

“We were joined by some of our wonderful community elders as well as some of the very youngest.

“We raffled off one hell of a meat tray. We ate well, laughed, danced, and the youngins played all night long.”

The group also thanked musician Jonny for providing entertainment throughout the evening, as well as Beaumont Tiles, Galipo's Midtown Meats and Mick's Bread Kitchen for supporting the event.

Most importantly, appreciation was extended to everyone who attended despite the wet conditions.

Community events like these continue to highlight that even when the weather refuses to cooperate, bringing people together remains what matters most.
