For the last time, the tiny town of Weengallon has hosted more than 900 people for the annual Pink Ladies Day, an event which has kept on growing over the years.

Normally, Weengallon is a dot on the map between St George and Goondiwindi, near Queensland's border with New South Wales.

But every year for the past 20 it has boasted huge crowds of women for a charity luncheon to raise funds — originally for the local kindergarten but lately for local breast and prostate cancer services.

This year, a record 740 tickets were sold within 10 minutes.

The event is 100 per cent organised and run by local volunteers, including Sally Rigney.

"I just think it's amazing how 'the little day that could' has helped so many people everywhere," she said.

"And it's not just from giving money to research and services for breast cancer. It's also about giving all of these beautiful women the most wonderful, magical day out and that stays in their hearts and minds for the whole year."

When the event began, raising funds for the local kindergarten, it hosted about 60 local women who got together for a BBQ and tennis day.

But as the years have gone on, the cause has changed.

"I think what we saw was the rise of the breast cancer movement — pink became the colour of a generation," Ms Rigney said.

"We had the Weengallon Kindy that said 'Well, here's this local breast and prostate cancer association starting up, we're making more money than we need, look at the stats, one of us is going to end up with this, we already know people affected by it' and it just seemed natural to join in with the breast and prostate cancer association girls."

While final figures are still being tallied, this year's event raised around $60,000.

The committee decided 2019 would be the last year for the Weengallon Pink Ladies Day event, however it has been approached by a third party who is interested in taking over the event.

Committee president Emma Montgomery said no decision had been made yet.

"As we know it, Weengallon is going out with a bang after 20 years but watch this space," she said.

"This year has been extra special to us [the committee]. It's been a massive job, one we love, so it is very bittersweet to say this is possibly the end for us, but at the end of the day we are all volunteers and it is a huge project for everyone."

Sally Rigney said she would always have fond memories of the event.

"I guess the year I really remember is when the women actually drank the bar dry and the barmen all jumped in their utes and raided all the local cold rooms," she said.

"I walked past this table to see a beautiful bottle of [expensive] champagne being sold for $10 and I thought 'That's a lot to give to charity'," she joked.

"But that's the thing — you give as much as you can.

"Really, Weengallon has always given me more than I could ever give to it.

"And I think what I love about the event is the friendships that have been created across the districts, across the generations — these are friends who have become family."

Melissa Southern has been involved with the Ladies Day for 18 years.

'It's a big thing for the district and you keep going for that reason. It brings life to the area," she said.

"I remember taking the guest list one year and the phone wouldn't stop ringing and you would have to say 'Sorry, we can't fit you in' because the hall was only so big.

"Then we progressed to the marquee and now we've gone another size up in the marquee — it's just huge.

"All the years have been special but a highlight was the wet year where the ladies were carrying their gum boots and enjoying the mud."

But it's not just the women who are involved with the day — many of them rely on their husbands to volunteer too.

"We probably get the easiest shift, we get to turn up on the day and do the bar whereas the ladies have to do a lot of background work and everything, so we probably get the easier side of it so it's enjoyable," he said.

"It's been a good six years, you know, for the money that it's raised.

"We've had plenty of good moments here. There have been a lot of flat tyres that we've had to help out with over the years, but it's all been good fun."
