The 2006 Tigers Presentation Night attracted some 250 people to the surroundings of the Queanbeyan Conference Centre.

In what has been described as a fantastic occasion, the Tigers giant ruckman Danny Jaques was named the Clubs 1st Grade Best and Fairest player being presented with the Tony Wynd Medal.

Polling 189 votes he was well clear of Runner Up Best and Fairest Ryan Quade on 154 who also gained the Michael Haddock Medal voted on by Past Players.

Master of Ceremonies, Robert Anderson providing the large gathering with an excellent over view of the Season complimented by a DVD of the Year as it unfolded. It combined game day footage with photos from through out the season.

Compiled by Jordan Longmore, the DVD featured every aspect including player achievements, the loss of past legends, and highlights of finals appearances by both the Reserve and Under 18 Grade teams. A further visual feature of the night was another DVD produced by Rob Walker through the generous support of Paul Walshe.
