Armidale Regional Chamber Of Commerce

Dear ARCC members and fans, President Janine Bear is currently in the States dealing with personal and family issues and will be away from Armidale until July 9. She is still deeply committed to Armidale and apologizes for any delays in returning phone calls or emails over the last few weeks. Please feel free to reach out to one of our board members for immediate service. We will resume promoting businesses in the next few days. Please make sure to check your email for updates from BNSW about upcoming events, classes, and seminars. Janine still has the Chamber mobile and will return calls when time allows, but you can reach board members.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Warm your home. Fire your feast. And if you missed the BAH at Barbeques Galore, you missed a feast of amazing food, networking, and fun. It was outstanding. Don't tell Warren, but I think he is getting a Traeger for Christmas. The slow-cooked pork was out of this world. Thank you, Sam and Reese.

💛🎟️ Community Fundraiser for Pedal Early Intervention 🎟️💛

Armidale Montessori Preschool is proud to be fundraising for Pedal Early Intervention, and the amazing work that they do in supporting children and families in our local community.

Supporting our community is something we truly value. For us, fundraising is about more than raising money — it’s a valuable learning experience for our children. Through being involved, they develop empathy, social responsibility, and an understanding of how they can make a positive difference in the lives of others 💛

We would love our community to get behind this — please help us by buying tickets, sharing with family and friends, and spreading the word 🙌

Our Mother’s Day Raffle is the biggest way you can help us make an impact!

✨ Tickets are just $2 each — and every ticket makes a difference!

Incredible prizes to be won:
🥇 1st Prize: Trailer load of wood (valued at over $400) — generously donated by Nikita Niemanas & Damien Doyle
🥈 2nd Prize: Luxury Mother’s Day hamper (valued at over $200)
🥉 3rd Prize: Hamper (valued at around $100)

Prizes will be drawn on 9 May at our Mother’s Day celebration

👉 Want tickets? Get in touch on 02 6772 3628 or see us at the Preschool!
Let’s come together and make this our biggest fundraiser yet!

We are aiming to raise $1,000, which the Preschool will match dollar-for-dollar — doubling the impact! Last year, thanks to our incredible community, we were able to donate over $3,200 to the Women’s Shelter 🙌

🌿 What else is happening at the Preschool:
🍴 5 food and drink stalls
🎭 Dress-up days

A big thank you also to our other supporters Kmart, Good Price Pharmacy & Bunnings for their generous contributions 💛

Small business owners – we’d love your input 📣

Service NSW is designing a new advisory service to better support small businesses, and they’re looking for feedback from people who understand local business challenges and opportunities.

The proposed service would offer specialist advice to help small business owners build practical skills to run and grow their business.

If you own a small business or work closely with the local business community, this is a great chance to have your say and help shape a service that works for you.
