Upcoming Events
Why not Note them in your Diary Now

None Scheduled Sorry- Any suggestions for an upcoming November event?

Regularly the Chamber holds Ba5 networking evenings (business after 5pm)
where local businesses can profile their businesses. 
Light refreshments are served and those attending have the opportunity to mix with fellow
business people and catch up on what is happening around the city.

Being in business can be isolating - Ba5's bring like-minded people together 

If you would like to hold a Ba5 - contact the Chamber office 86 30384

Snippets from the Executive Meeting held Mon 10th ONovember 2008 Councillor Brian Wilson thanked the Chamber for their support - 2/3 of the ratepayers who responded opted for Banks Street and the Council has adopted the recommendation Clare Radomske in reponds to Government decision to go with outside contractors for our school bus contracts. Tender system has looked at the needs of the children and made a decision accordingly.  Joe Martin - returned from USA - amazing support for NZ wine and food in the States. Malcolm Maclean advised a World Rugby team is coming to Gisborne.  On city retailing - some just "holding their own" and others are "up against the wall". Councillors work this month is revising and revisiting the LTCCP - doing it thoroughly so it only needs to be reviewed in future - instead of overhauled. YES students had a successful National Awards evening in Wellington but no major prizes came home.  Very good presentations and teamwork throughout the year.
