Winning the Shire’s best Chamber of Commerce Award at Eurobodalla Business Awards on Saturday night has been a huge lift for everyone involved with Narooma Chamber of Commerce and Narooma Oyster Festival, said Chamber spokesman Adrian Fisse.
‘Our win was partly due to re-establishing Narooma Oyster Festival and our extensive marketing and PR efforts to promote Narooma as a destination,’ Mr Fisse said.
‘Successfully re-establishing the Oyster Festival was the Chamber’s key initiative over the past year.
‘It’s been a tough two years on the committee, all volunteers, but the Festival is now recognised as a quality regional event.
‘The brand is synonymous with delicious oysters, natural clean quality regional food and Narooma being a great place to visit.’
He said already people are buying tickets for next year’s Festival on 5 May.
Narooma Chamber has many new initiatives underway to boost local business.
For example, all business people are invited to Narooma’s first Business Buzz at Club Narooma on Tuesday 5 September at 7pm.
‘It’s a chance to meet other local business people and find out about their businesses.
‘It will include speed briefing, a bit like speed dating, and be a lot of fun.’
There will also be a presentation on ‘economic gardening’. More details closer to the event.
