Haktari Taewondo Academy, which is headed by Jeff Crane, took to social media to thank everyone who was involved in the day, including the many referees and corner judges from all the clubs that attended on the day, some from as far away as the ACT.
"I am very proud of my small club that always put on a great event for taekwondo practitioners of all ages and levels, working tirelessly over the weekend in the setup, running the event and then the packing up and cleaning the whole venue," the post said.
"Our little team did a mighty job."
