Welcome to the official website for the QLD council of the APBA. We would like to welcome you to another season of Powerboat racing in Beautiful Queensland.

LOCKYER POWERFEST 2012 -VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The GCPBSC (Gold Coast Power Boat Sports Club) is looking for any volunteers that can help with the set up and/or running of this year's event. All help will be greatly appreciated. Please contact Craig Lewis 0408 748 142 or Peter Dukic 0414 280 059 if you can help out.

BUNDABERG - NOVEMBER 2012

To interested parties it is great to hear that Power Boat Racing at Sandy Hook “ Bundaberg “ has been returned to the APBA Calendar in November 2012 at a National Level in a new format under the Banner of the Australian Formula Power Boat Grand Prix Series and incorporating Round 2 of the Hi Tec Oils Blown Lites Extreme Power Boat Series . Stay tuned for further details.

CANCELLATION OF BUNDY THUNDER

It is with regret that I announce that Bundy Thunder is officially cancelled. With declining numbers of support from the public (and while this is nobody’s fault), it has become evident that this event had run its course. I would like to thank all the organisers – various Bundy Thunder committees, Rotary Bundaberg West, Bundaberg Ski Club, Leukaemia Foundation and all the major sponsors who supported this event over the years. Special thanks to all our APBA QLD committees including Ros Mecklan, Jim and Mal Thompson, Mary McMillan, Neil Everding, Debbie Brown, Peter Dukic, the current APBA QLD council and all the workers who worked with all those committees over the years. We would also like to thank all the APBA QLD clubs that helped with the organisation of this event since its inception. I have been in contact with Denise Tomkins (Iron Nuts) and Jared Martin (Trojan Cup) to inform them of this outcome and they have agreed to hold these events off till 2013, as we are endeavouring to hold another major meeting in QLD in 2013. While it is sad to see Bundy Thunder gone, a new era has to begin at a new venue and hopefully your support will get this venture going. Most importantly on behalf of all Queenslanders we would like to thank all boat drivers, crews, family & friends who have supported this event over the years. Finally, we’d like to thank the spectators and fans for supporting Bundy Thunder and hope you will support our new events in the future.

Yours in racing,

Craig Lewis
