FRASER COAST CENTRAL

SEE YOU AT THE TORBANLEA PICNIC RACES @ QUEENSLAND

HI,

It’s that time again! Thought I should give you as much notice as possible…

Planning for the annual Torbanlea Picnic Races on Saturday October 16 is well underway. This year, like 2009, Wide Bay Rural Weekly is a major media partner, and will feature the event over a 3 week series, maximizing promotion, especially to encourage bus bookings, camp site bookings, and all those people who prepare for Fashion of the Field.

The biggest advantage of featuring the event in Wide Bay Rural Weekly, apart from the hugely discounted rates on offer, is the insertion of Wide Bay Rural Weekly into Bundaberg’s NewsMail, Fraser Coast Chronicle and Gympie Times, which provides virtually triple the coverage.

This year the event is likely to be bigger than ever, bus bookings already, campsites and stalls booked already, folk from as far as New Zealand enquiring, and now even Corporate Marquee bookings available for groups 10, 20, 40 and more.

We invite you to consider participation, promote your message and support Torbanlea’s biggest fundraiser of the year. I look forward to opportunity to discuss this with you, and will follow up with a phone call in the next few days.

Should you have any query please feel free to contact me at your earliest opportunity.

1. Bus bookings with Wide Bay Transit and G & D Ross Bus Charters
2. Campsite bookings
3. Entries for Fashion of the Field
4. Team entries for the Team Tug of War event
5. Riders and horses nominating for events
6. The newest addition…..corporate tables and marquee bookings…groups of 10, 20 , 40, 50 or more can prebook to have a set place ready for their group, in the shade of a marquee, with table and chairs and includes the gate entry….for just $25 per head…and it’s all set up and cleaned up for you….

For event details folk can email torbanleapicnicraces@live.com.au and for participation in the promotion, and program, supporting this major fundraiser email edith.rutherford@apnnewspapers.com.au

We look forward to your bookings and seeing everyone on the day…

Cheers for now,

Edith Rutherford

Upcoming Member Meetings

NOTE IN YOUR CALENDAR

Members who missed the last breakfast, what can I say, you missed it. Mike O’Hagen from Mini Movers was sensational and a great help to all organisations that were there, just ask any of them. Do not miss another opportunity to have some fun and learn some tricks.

Two local finance experts, Mick Toohey and Marvin Reck, will give a “no holds barred” analysis of the sharemarket. Plus we two special guests, Gordon Gekko and Bud Fox, who will give exclusive company recommendations. Forget the disclaimers these experts are putting on the cravat and are giving some real opinions.

******************************************************************

8th December.……Brekkie @ The BROLGA

Why Use A Shotgun when a Pareing Knife Will Do

John Crittall, Director of Industrial Relations for Master Builders, will provide an overview of the new dismissal laws effecting small and medium size businesses. John is an exceptional speaker however it is not for the faint hearted as John’s manner is attuned to negotiationg with Building Unions. Do not miss this early Xmas present.

*****************************************************************

9th February - Lunch @ The BROLGA

Improving Your City – How You Can Make It Happen

Paul Pasasale, Mayor of Ipswich, is electric. He has agreed to speak to chamber members about putting Maryborough back on the map.

Dear Members and Supporters,

Lunch with Aussie’s

John Symond

In conjunction with Aussie Hervey Bay, the Chamber is extremely proud to present Aussie’s John Symond for the Chamber’s November function.

John Symond is arguably one of Australia’s favourite Aussies, and he will be visiting Hervey Bay on 13 November 2009 for the opening of Aussie’s new office on Boat Harbour Drive, Pialba.

As part of his visit to the Bay, John will be joining us for lunch as the Chamber’s Keynote Speaker and will share stories of his amazing life journey with us.

John describes his life as a typically Australian one – a happy childhood in Brisbane and Sydney’s west, a near miss with financial failure after the 1987 crash and subsequent emergence as one of Australia’s most inspiring businessmen.

Date: Friday, 13 November 2009
Time: 12.00pm for 12.30pm start
Venue: Hervey Bay Boat Club, Buccaneer Drive, Urangan Marina
Cost: $50 for Members and $60 for Non Members
Member rates apply to members of the Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Burrum
and Tiaro Chambers of Commerce, Fraser Coast Young Professionals,
UDIA and Fraser Coast South Burnett Tourism.

RSVP: On or before Tuesday 10 November 2009 (if not sold out prior)

to download the flyer and registration form.

There will be limited seats for this event, so EARLY BOOKINGS will be a must to secure your spot.

All attendees will have a chance to win a personally autographed copy of “Aussie John”, his latest book (so don’t forget your business cards). There will also be an opportunity to purchase tickets to win a bottle of 2002 Vintage Penfolds Grange, kindly donated by The Hervey Bay Boat Club.

We would like to extend a big thank you to our supporters who are:

Dear Members and Guests,

Chamber Breakfast – Wednesday 28 October, 2009
at 6.45am for a 7.00am start at the Boat Club, Buccaneer Drive Urangan

OCTOBER – HERVEY BAY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BREAKFAST

Speaker: Ted Sorensen, MP Member for Hervey Bay

Ted was born and bred in Hervey Bay and served for many years on the Hervey Bay City Council. Last time he stood for Mayor he polled an outstanding 63% first preference votes. He declined nomination for the amalgamated council, choosing instead to represent the City in State Parliament.

If local knowledge accounts for anything, Ted would be one of the best representatives we could possibly get. Hear from him a first hand account of what goes on in Parliament in Brisbane.
