ARTICLE Nick Roney
The last quarter of 2019 has seen the last of our regional forums being held in Hobart and Launceston. Both were attended well by members and corporate partners. The main part of the forums is to communicate the regional plans that have now been finalised under the guidance of all our members and non-members that took part in these sessions in the first half of the year. A big thanks to Drysdale for assisting in the Hobart forum and the networking night and in Launceston a huge thanks to Glenn Robertson and his team at The Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston. After the Launceston Forumwe had our annual Race Night at Mowbray Racecourse, which saw more than 80 people attend. A lot of fun was had on the night with some tactical banter with the organisers of the $20 Punters Club. The Punters Club managed to get back in front after the second last race only to invest it all on the last (Thanks to Andrew Moore from Clubs Tasmania) which saw everyone halve their initial investment and get a $10 return. We must also thank everyone that participated in our one-off auction for a signed WINX silks and we managed to raise more than $1000 for THAT Foundation . We look forward to seeing you all again at this event next year. Electricity seemed to be the topic of the last quarter as we went to tender with one of our newest corporate partners in Energy ROI. Energy ROI ran bill error checking plus two rounds of group buying negotiations for THA members, one for large customers (>150,000kWh/p.a.) and one for small customers. You may have read about the great savings to be had by some of our members in a previous article in the magazine and if this is something you are interested in, our next Electricity Tender will be in March 2020 so if you would like to participate, please contact myself on 0439119343 or email nick@tha.asn.au as there are saving to be made. Speaking of our corporate partners, I would like to welcome a new corporate partner in Supagas who have come on-board with the THA recently. All of our corporate partners should be able to offer some value or benefits to your business. Please make a point in mentioning that you
are a THA member when contacting them. We would also like to hear your stories when you have dealt with our partners, so just shoot me a quick email when you do at nick@tha.asn.au
See our website for all of their contact details.

Lastly, I hope everyone has had a great 2019 and are ready to go for the next few months when the action heats up. Make sure you have all your contracts in place for casual staff and if you have any question or queries, no matter how big or small, please pick up the phone and call me or send me an email. Have a safe Christmas and a prosperous new year. Please contact myself directly if you need assistance in any way in regards to your membership on 0439 119 343.
