I have just got back from a trip around the state of Victoria. Hired a Camper Van for the first time and travelled with Lynda and the two kids on a circuit round Great Ocean Road, the Grampians, and back to Melbourne through Bendigo. It is a beautiful part of Australia and the family have really enjoyed the trip. We were fortunate to tag this on at the start of a trip for a conference in Melbourne as part of Campbell Tyson Cooper White membership with NZCA. NZCA is an affiliation to which we belong where like minded accountants can share ideas, strategies, and knowledge in a casual and relaxed environment. The Melbourne seminar is focussing on networking strategies and techniques, something most accountants ordinarily struggle with!
CTCW is the principal sponsor of the Business and Innovation Expo that was planned to be held on the 7 May. While there has been incredible interest and early involvement from many organisations in the Franklin district (as well as some outside of the district), there is also many businesses who expressed their difficulties with preparing exhibitions for the 7 May date on which the event was planned to be held. In order to ensure that the maximum participation possible can be achieved, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the event until an as yet undecided future date. This new date will be set after consultation with interested parties to ensure that they have additional time to prepare their exhibitions as well as incorporate the cost of the event into their marketing budget. With the difficult recessionary times, CTCW fully understands the difficulties of funding and staffing expo events and as part of our commitment to the community we are seeking to enable as much participation as possible with our clients and their related business community.
If any of you would like to consider putting in an exhibition at the Expo, or are keen to register your interest to attend, please do not hesitate to contact either our reception or Niru at Enterprise Franklin Development Trust.
Have a great week.
