Later this month we will be having our Spring Social at The Point in Ballina on Sept 23. So add this to your diaries. Come along and meet new members, why not invite someone you know who is not a member so they can see the way that Ballina Tourism and Hospitality helps promote tourism for this fantastic region. More in our next postcard.
As part of this evening Northern Rivers Tourism will demonstrate their new tourism engine (fancy words for a website) that is included in your membership of Tourism Ballina and Hospitality.
Earlier this week BTH attended NRT's Legendary Pacific Coast workshops at The Ballina Beach Resort.

David Williamson has made a success of understanding the driving passions and foibles of sectors of Australian society. In Money & Friends, Ballina Players upcoming production, he lays bare the characters’ passionate affairs with property, money, love and friendship.







So hopefully the weekend will fine up and even more people can venture out to these fantastic creatures.
THE appeal for the victims of the Lennox Head tornado raised $50,000 and a committee has been formed to oversee the distribution of the money.



We welcome on board
had to pinch myself on Friday night when Miss Saigon opened at The Players Theatre in Ballina. The last time I felt the same kind of buzz was when Bob Dylan came to town. It's not that there haven't been other events that warrant a good night out but Friday evening's performance heralded the sense of something bigger, something of a wider measure, of being part of a culmination of hard work and the magic of good stage presence.

This ALL Bangalow Duck, Six course degustation event has been designed to demonstrate how restaurants can proactively work together whilst showcasing our fantastic regional produce.
