Let us pamper you after work on ... Friday Night,  4th December  5.30PM - 7.00PM

Urban Retreat Paddington invites Local Traders to unwind at the Urban Retreat. 
Enjoy some foot pampering in our new "Chill Room", sample Treats from our
Day Spa Menu and take some time out with other Local Traders. 

We all know that we need to take some time out for ourselves during this pre-Christmas
madness.  Let's celebrate the year just departing and the new one to come. 
It is a busy time we know  and we have chosen 5.30PM so that you can just lock up and
pop in for a "Quick Fix" and a chat and then go home and put your feet up or your party
clothes on.  

Hope to see you there - Chris & Rex and the Urban Retreat Team
RSVP:   3217 5522   by 27th November 2009  to ensure your foot pampering 'treat' !!

2009 WOW Brisbane Broncos
Banquet Auction

Friday, 31st July  2009



The 2009 WOW Brisbane Broncos Banquet Auction, proudly presented by WOW Sight and Sound,
will be held on Friday, 31st July 2009 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, and with
your support this event will be bigger and better than ever before!!
 
BIWCC Members and Inner West Businesses are urged to donate to the Banquet Auction.
Support enabled us to raise over $75,000.00 last year, and we are hoping to raise even
more this year for some very worthwhile causes.

The night provides you with an opportunity to promote your business and be involved in a unique
event that will help fund grassroots Rugby League in Queensland, as well as providing support to
the Broncos Charities Fund - which has raised over $600,000 since its inception - in providing
encouragement, assistance and financial support for the underprivileged and disadvantaged
youth of Queensland.

Your attendance at this fantastic event would also be greatly appreciated and tickets for the
Auction are now available at $120.00 each or $1,200.00 per table, which includes a 3-course
meal, beer, wine and soft drinks.  Should you wish to attend this event, simply complete the
invitation included with this letter.
 
We hope you can support us at this event and should you have any queries, contact
Jason Greenhalgh at the Broncos on 3858 9111 or jasong@broncos.com.au
