“Helping grow small business in Northern Adelaide”

Guest Speaker :  The Hon. Kyam Maher, MLC

Starting a new business or exanding an existing small business is rewarding although lack of finance can be a major barrier to do so.

As part of the Northern Economic Plan a $10 million dollar Small Business Development Fund has been established to help small businesses located in the council areas of Elizabeth, Salisbury, and Port Adelaide Enfield to grow and create sustainable jobs. Manufacturing and Innovation Minister Kyam Maher will discuss what the fund means for small business and start-ups in the north.

7am. Wednesday 26th October at Grand Central, My Money House Oval, Goodman Road, Elizabeth, SA.

Below is the five minute talk that President Jim gave at the Northern Business Breakfast on August 24th about his business journey. Jim has worked hard to build his dream into a successful business.

My name is Jim Buckoke and I have run a business called Jim’s Trim in Salisbury for thirty eight years.

  Our Club has been looking for an appropriate way to recognise Past President Rolly Dickins, and his wishes; that the Elizabeth community homeless should be supported in some way.

To that end, his request for contributions instead of flowers at his funeral, started a fund of which his widow, Honorary member Bessie Dickins, presented to Orange Sky Laundry at our meeting 2481.

For 12 years our Club has contributed to this day, with scientific ‘hands-on’ equipment and demonstrations, in conjunction with SciWorld.

SciWorld is a South Australian not-for-profit organisation that provides science outreach programs in various locations around Adelaide and South Australia.

The children were fascinated with the soap film shapes.

On Saturday night November 19 2016, our club will be celebrating our 50th birthday at the Civic Centre in Elizabeth.

Please keep November 19 2016 in your diary. More details will be posted as they are finalised.
