Business Lunch organised!

Well - we have confirmed both our guest speakers now. We will have Rachel Sanderson, one of the BWBR sponsors and Liberal Candidate for the Seat of Adelaide (and no BWBR is not politically biased) and Gold Medal Cyclist from the 2000 Olympics, Brett Aitken!

Should be a very interesting lunch as both Rachel and Brett are also very successful business people. Amongst other topics, they will be speaking about setting goals and achieving dreams! A delicious (I can personally vouch for the food) 2 course meal and drinks included for a tiny $60 per person. Send me an email to book your tickets! margaret@jgg.com.au

Our Gala Dinner in April is looking good. Had a meeting with Tania (who is organising this event for us) on Monday night and she is so enthusiastic and creative. So many ideas just "popped" out of her mouth it was truly amazing. Get ready to be dazzled!

Our "Quiz Night" has undertaken a transformation also. Cindy (who is coordinating this one) was amused by the guys enthusiasm I think - she has not been involved with 2 such crazy men before - and we may be changing to a Sunday afternoon of bowling, bingo and trivia. I will keep you posted on this one. Another fun event!

Rachel is planning our Fashion Parade and we met yesterday over coffee. Unfortunately the dates available for this year do not really suit us (not enough time to promote properly) so it will now be held in August 2009!

There are so many exciting "things" happening for us at the moment but unfortunately I cannot disclose anything until confirmation is received. It is so very frustrating!

Still trying to figure out how to upload a pdf file to the blog ... if you can help in simple english with instructions please leave a comment for me.

Catch you soon.

Broken promise.......

Well , that was a broken promise. My apologies for not getting back to update the site as promised. It is so busy at the moment getting everything organised!

Flyers for our upcoming events will be slightly delayed due to Ray from Get Marketing completely rupturing his achilles during a footy match .... his operation last Thursday was a success and he is now resting at home for a few weeks. All I can say is "Patience Ray!", BUT I look forward to seeing some creative flyers soon!

Talking to a friend the other night, we were discussing how he could help with the Big Wish Bike Ride. Not everyone or every business is able to donate cash, but most can give goods and/or services. So we have a new "sponsor" who will help with advertising and promoting our event through the aussie rules football site SA Footy. The site gets about 6 million hits a month so I am sure our events will be well publicised! Great way to keep abreast of what is happening in the world of aussie rules too! Thank you Anthony for the committment and support.

I am still awaiting a reply from one possible speaker for our Business Lunch on Friday 26th September 2008, but can confirm that Rachel Sanderson, who is a sponsor of the Big Wish Bike Ride and successful business owner of Rachels Models, as well as being the Liberal Candidate for the seat of Adelaide, will be one of our speakers. Rachel is amazing ... an expert organiser .... how she fits everything in is beyond me!

Please set the date aside ... it is happening ... and the flyer will be emailed out asap! That was Friday 26th September in the Champs Function Room at the Woodville West Torrens Football Club, 12 - 3pm. Two course meal with beer, wine and soft drinks included. And YES! We will have a raffle and a small auction so bring extra cash on the day!

We have also confirmed that Graphpak will once again be donating our cycling gear. Ray will design the outfits and Graphpak will make them for us! Thank you very much to Ken and Alistair for their support.

Remember to start training for the Cyclethon on 29/30 November this year and get your sponsors lined up. More details asap.

I think that is enough for now .... we have a meeting tonight about the Gala Dinner and Quiz Night next year. We had to change the date of our Gala Dinner so please note in your diary, Friday 3rd April 2009. The original date of 20th March conflicted with the Clipsal 500 so we needed to change it. Remember, Friday 3rd April 2009, this is one week before Easter and the start of the school holidays!

Catch you soon .....
