Membership & Corporate Report
GREG ASTELL Deputy CEO
It doesn’t seem that long ago we were celebrating our 2017 annual gala night. Nominations for this year’s THA & TasTAFE Awards for Excellence closed on 27th April whilst judging commenced on 14th May and continues through until 6th July. This year we have 35 categories, which includes 17 General, 6 Accommodation and 12 Restaurant/Cafe. We have also have a new category “Best Bistro Dining” which will replace the former “Best Family Dining”. We are excited to announce Lark Music as our entertainment for the night, alongside bright young musician Olivia Wilson preforming in the foyer. Please save the date 20th August 2018, for our Annual Awards Gala dinner which is held at Wrest Point. Tickets go on sale soon! We have continued with our bi-monthly meetings with Liquor and Gaming chaired by Acting Director Melissa Ford along with Jane Scott and Mark Brazendale. At these meetings we discuss a range of topics including annual licence fee payments, license holders changing addresses, Commissioner’s noise guidelines, maintaining RSA and RCG records along with other relevant topics. We will keep you informed if any changes are forthcoming. As you would be aware the Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission’s Responsible Gambling Mandatory Code of Practice amendments became effective on May 1st 2018. Advice on the code and rules has been sent to all venue licence holders and information is available at www.treasury.tas.gov.au With the recent bad winter weather it is timely for our members to check their properties and to be mindful things such as gutters, down pipes, car park run offs and all water exit systems are in good condition to prevent damage to members’ properties. Also check that heating systems are in good working order, filters cleaned to improve efficiencies and heater flues and chimneys cleaned and in good order.
