The TFH Gold Coast Titans last night held their annual Trip A Deal Community Awards at Southport Yacht Club.
With over 100 people in attendance, the night was another huge success for the club and a night to remember for those the club has worked with over the past twelve months.
It's a night for the children, volunteers, teachers, administrative staff and players to come together and celebrate a year of outstanding achievements.
The playing group once again showed their passion for the clubs' programs, eager to be involved and play a role in the celebrations and awards ceremony.
Emceed by Channel nine Gold Coast's Dominique Louden, Titans Executive Chairman Dennis Watt opened the evening before handing the microphone over to players Jai arrow, Konrad Hurrell, Anthony Don, Dale Copley and Jarrod Wallace who presented the nights awards.
The awards included:
