The coppers had a ball

The attendees of the Warwick Country Copper Ball certainly embraced the occasion, showcasing their impeccable sense of style and elegance.

On the evening of Saturday 5 August, the Club Warwick RSL hosted emergency service personnel, both current and former, alongside members of the community, to honour a century of legacy for our armed forces.

Senior Sergeant Jamie Deacon emphasised the significance of this celebration, particularly in light of the challenging past 12 months experienced by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Queensland Police Service (QPS). Coming together in such a manner allows for a collective appreciation and recognition of one another’s contributions.

The event included an auction and raffle, which successfully raised funds for the RSL Legacy and QLD Police Legacy. The support and participation resulted in a remarkable sum of over $15,000 being generated, further contributing to these worthy causes.
