Despite what geologists might think, this wasnt a geophysical targeting exercise, but our first social event of the year at Maniax in Newstead. Ten seasoned ASEG Members competed for the honour of greatest axe thrower, with our very own treasurer Roger Cant taking out the top prize.Recent weather caused our usual meeting spot, the XXXX Brewery, to be flooded, but it promises to be back up and running come April. The Queensland Committee extends our support to any Members affected by recent flooding events and hope everyone managed to stay safe and well.Technical talks are lining up for the next few months. The Queensland Branch will be hosting the Federal ASEG AGM at XXXX Brewery on Tuesday 7 April,Axe throwers from the Queensland Branchdetails appear elsewhere in this issue of Preview.
