TRADES/SERVICES AND LOCAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY

In 2022 we are looking to compile a directory of all local Trades, Services and businesses to advertise to all our club members, affiliated clubs, residents etc.

This will be an electronic directory available on website etc and also available in hard copy

An annual fee of $50 & GST will be levied to advertise in this.

It will be arranged in categories, sub-categories etc according to the businesses advertised.

For expressions of interest in this, or for more information, please contact
