Business After Five is a Rotorua Chamber of Commerce initiative. It is a meeting for business people and is held fortnightly at a variety of venues. Tonight was at Rainbow Springs and was hosted by “Stay and Play “ Rotorua. Kay Clarke is the local director and many small to large businesses are members, including the Agrodome, Mamaku Blue Winery, Hakaworld, Paradise Valley Horse Treks, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, Pure Cruise Luxury Yacht Charters and a few others.
Every fortnight local business people have the opportunity to get together and discuss issues of interest to them and others. There is a business card draw with a selection of fabulous prizes to be won, food and refreshments are sponsored by the host or joint hosts. New members and new business ventures are introduced to the group.
I was glad the meeting was at Rainbow Springs as I had the chance to see firsthand the new landscaping that they have recently completed. Stewart Brown, the General manager was justifiably proud of the redeveloped waterfall area that is now available to be used for weddings and other functions with catering available onsite. Most of the development work was carried out by Rainbow Springs’ own staff.
I’m pleased to be able to attend these meetings and always enjoy the lively discussions I have with the people I meet there. I was also pleased that recycling options for Rotorua were a popular topic of conversation. Keep those submissions coming in!
