Business Network Update

Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre would like to give a huge shout out to the local business owners who attended our inaugural quarterly Business Network Meeting. We would like to say a big thank you to Sue and Anthony from Anthony’s Seafood have handed us the baton and provided mentoring and support to get it all started.

2 feb We held the first event at The Neon Garage, a funky new venue in South Kincumber and Brad, Bianca and Kaz did a great job of providing a fantastic space to hold our first event. Nothing was too much trouble and they provided lots of support. Definitely a venue to check out if you are looking to hire something different for a party or function.

A new business The Big Meringue, with fantastic chef PaulieMac provided the very Hestonish food that was a very delicious treat.

We would like to say a big thank you to Kincumber Rotary for their kind donation of $200 towards the night, which helped with the cost of the evening, they are a great community organisation.
Also Kincumber Hotel who gave us a discount on the wines for the night. Also Six String Brewery who provided the beer and lemonade, also at reduced cost.

We would also Mitre 10 who are also a great community minded business, and supported the evening even though unable to be there this time.
